Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground breakfast sausage
• 2 cups Shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
• 10 pieces Flour tortillas (8-inch)
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 0.5 cup Chopped green onions
• 0 Sour cream (optional, for serving)
• 0 Salsa (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground sausage and cook until browned and fully cooked through, breaking it apart into small crumbles with a spatula. Drain any excess fat and set the sausage aside to cool slightly.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage, shredded cheese, and chopped green onions. Mix well to evenly distribute the ingredients.

Step 3

Lay out the flour tortillas on a clean surface. Spoon about 1/3 to 1/2 cup of the sausage and cheese mixture onto one half of each tortilla. Fold the other half of the tortilla over the filling to create a semi-circle.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of butter (about 1/2 teaspoon) to the surface, spreading it evenly.

Step 5

Place one or two quesadillas in the skillet (depending on the size of your skillet) and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Step 6

Remove the cooked quesadillas from the skillet and repeat the process with the remaining quesadillas, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.

Step 7

To Freezer Prep: Allow the cooked quesadillas to cool completely. Wrap each one individually in plastic wrap or place parchment paper between each quesadilla to prevent sticking. Store them in a large freezer bag or airtight container for up to 3 months.

Step 8

To Reheat: Remove a quesadilla from the freezer and unwrap. Heat in a skillet over medium-low heat for 3-5 minutes on each side until heated through, or microwave on a microwave-safe plate for 1-2 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Step 9

Serve warm with sour cream and salsa, if desired.
