When you want breakfast tacos but not exactly tacos make breakfast quesadillas! The Mister™ and I gave this a try on a whim to clean out some ingredients from the fridge before they went bad. We ended up loving them so much that we made them two weekends in a row. You can garnish them with sriracha (my favorite) or dip them in salsa to add a bit of a kick.

Though these items aren’t essential to making this recipe, it’s nice to have a meat crumbler to make breaking up the ground turkey easier and a grill press for toasting the tortilla. It will taste just as good without them but you will have to work a little harder to ground the meat and may have to press down on the tortilla with a spoon to flatten it while you’re toasting it.
