Instructions

Prep the ingredients per the instructions above.
Make sauce: In a bowl mix the sour cream, cilantro, and hot sauce (your preferred amount) to taste. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
Make the filling: Heat half of the oil in a large non-stick pan over medium heat. Crumble in the sausage and saute until nicely golden brown. Once the sausage starts to brown, add in the eggs. Move the eggs using quick circular motions with a spatula or wooden spoon until creamy and no longer runny, (move the pan on and off the heat as needed to prevent the eggs from overcooking). Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-low heat.
Build quesadilla: Portion and spread the cheese and eggs onto one half of each tortilla, then fold in half.
Add the quesadilla to the heated pan and cook on both sides to golden brown.
Serve: Cut quesadilla into wedges and enjoy with sauce and apple juice.

Notes

Pro Tip - watch the heat, don't be afraid to use a lower temperature so that the outside of the tortilla wrap gradually comes to a golden brown while the cheese is melting.
