Ham, Veggie & Cheese Breakfast Quesadillas

We usually have one meal each week where we use whole wheat flour tortillas. I always end up wondering what to do with the leftover tortillas, so that they don't go bad. Most of the time I just scramble up some eggs with assorted veggies and have breakfast tacos. Every now and then I get less lazy and cook up breakfast quesadillas. These breakfast quesadillas are a wonderful breakfast that fills you up. You can honestly fill them with just about any toppings, to include assorted veggies, spinach, cheeses, breakfast meats, etc...

Serve these up with a nice tall glass of fresh orange juice and you have a quality breakfast.

Ingredients
4 whole eggs
1/4 teaspoon lite salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons skim milk
1 tablespoon butter

4 whole wheat flour tortillas OR whatever tortillas you prefer
4 oz shredded colby/pepper jack cheese OR whatever cheese you prefer

1/2 cup lean ham, diced

Directions
-In a medium mixing bowl, combine eggs, salt, pepper, and milk. Whisk together until combined.
-Add half of the butter to a saute pan and melt over medium heat. Add the egg mixture and bell pepper. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to push eggs from one side to the other, until cooked or about 2 minutes.
-Divide egg mixture between two of the tortillas, laying the egg mixture on top, followed by cheese, onion, and ham. Top each tortilla with each of the remaining tortillas.
-In a skillet, add the other portion of butter and melt over medium heat. Add one quesadilla at a time to the pan and cook until golden and brown. Should take 3 to 4 minutes per side, flip and repeat.
-Repeat process for remaining quesadillas.
