Roasted Tomato Salsa
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Place tomatoes and onion in a shallow baking pan lined with aluminum foil.
Drizzle with 1 Tbsp. of the oil, sprinkle with salt and toss to coat.
Roast in the oven for 20 to 30 minutes. Allow to cool slightly.
Place roasted tomatoes, onion and cilantro in a food processor and process until smooth, gradually adding the remaining oil.
Quesadilla
Heat oil in a large skillet (large enough to accommodate tortilla) over medium heat.
Add ham and red bell pepper; stir and cook until slightly browned and softened, about 4-5 minutes.
Add eggs; cook, stirring gently, until scrambled and set, about 4-5 minutes. Transfer to bowl.
Clean out skillet and place 1 flour tortilla on the bottom of skillet. Spread 1-2 Tbsp. roasted tomato salsa over tortilla. Add Mexican cheese blend and mozzarella cheese over entire tortilla. Add egg mixture to one side of tortilla and fold tortilla over.
Cook until golden brown, 1-2 minutes. Flip and continue cooking until second side is golden brown, 1-2 minutes more.
Allow quesadilla to cool about 8-10 minutes, then cut into wedges. Serve with salsa, sour cream, or whatever your heart desires.Enjoy!
