Go team avocado! This party-style take on a popular Mexican breakfast dish is loaded with green goodness, and begging to be served up for The Big Game.
I love football, but for mostly the wrong reasons.
Third-down conversions and Hail Mary passes are great, and who doesn’t love an impromptu end-zone dance after an epic intercepted touchdown?
If I’m being totally honest, for me, the best part of football Sunday is the food.
Hand me a brewsky and a plate full of these tasty Huevos Rancheros Quesadillas, and I’m set for the long haul – even the half-time show!
WE WANT TO GIVE YOU MORE OF WHAT YOU WANT!
We are big on breakfast in the Crumby House.
Second breakfast, brunch, breakfast for dinner…we may not have time in the mornings to actually eat a proper breakfast, but we make up for it the rest of the day.
We go through eggs like a fox in a hen-house. That is not an exaggeration.
We’re always trying to come up with something new to take to our friends’ houses for football Sunday. The same old song and dance gets boring, so we like to combine different ideas into one, cohesive snack food that we can throw together quickly.
We run late constantly. No finger-pointing, we are both equally guilty.
Thankfully, we always have a package of Old El Paso tortillas in the house, and these Huevos Rancheros Quesadillas were born to serve the very occasions where a last-minute app is required. It combines our love of breakfast with our equal love of snacks.
Last minute and beyond simple.
Runny fried egg. Tomatoes & chiles. Cilantro. Cheeeeeeeeese.
And did I mention they have avocado inside? I am, in fact, one of the folks that helps contribute to the 1.3 billion pounds of avocados from Mexico sold every year.
Fun fact: if you made guacamole from all the avocados sold for Superbowl parties, you could fill the entire stadium 12 feet high.
That’s some quicksand I wouldn’t mind partying in – just bring a bag of chips and eat your way out!

- When the eggs are ready, remove pan from heat and remove eggs using a spatula, placing them on a plate. Repeat with remaining eggs.
- Heat up your tabletop grill, grill pan, griddle, or a separate large skillet sprayed with cooking oil. Gather all your toppings near your workspace.
- Sprinkle some cheese on the top of 4 tortillas, then layer 2 eggs on each one, side by side.
- Top with diced tomatoes & chiles, avocado, green onion, and cilantro, being sure not to overfill. Sprinkle more cheese on top, then layer on your other tortillas.
