The egg cooks directly onto the tortilla—similar to the clever technique used in my French Toast Grilled Cheese and High-Protein Spinach Avocado Egg Wrap—creating a tender, savory layer in every bite. Then come the classics: crisp turkey bacon, juicy tomato and fresh lettuce, along with creamy avocado for a buttery finish.
I have a soft spot for meals you can fold and devour. My High-Protein Breakfast Tacos bundle fluffy eggs, black beans and melty cheese into warm corn tortillas, while my Easy Pizza Quesadilla brings all the saucy, cheesy joy of pizza to a golden, crisp tortilla. Both are speedy, family-friendly options that can swing from breakfast to lunch or dinner with ease.
I’m always tinkering with familiar favorites to give them more staying power, and this one checks all the boxes. The egg and turkey bacon bring the protein, and avocado contributes heart-healthy fat and fiber. Translation: this souped-up wrap is built to keep you going!
This creation came to life when I couldn’t decide between a BLT and eggs for lunch. So, naturally, I combined them…and then invited avocado to the party. Once I lined up the ingredients, BLEAT practically named itself. And honestly, this recipe lives up to its lively little title in more ways than one.
Why this quesadilla deserves a big BLEAT
- B—Bold. Crispy turkey bacon, creamy avocado and juicy tomato bring big flavor and plenty of texture.
- L—Layered. Every fold is packed with colorful, crave-worthy ingredients.
- E—Easy. It comes together quickly in one skillet with minimal cleanup.
- A—All-in-one. Protein, produce, wholesome carbs and healthy fat are bundled into one handheld meal.
- T—Totally irresistible. It’s warm, fresh, creamy and crispy—all at the very same time.
Serve it straight from the skillet while the tortilla is warm and the lettuce is still crisp. One bite, and you’ll understand what all the BLEATing is about. Go ahead…make some noise! 😉

BLEAT Quesadilla (Bacon, Lettuce, Egg, Avocado and Tomato)
Ingredients
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten (or 1 whole egg + 2 whites) with a pinch of salt and pepper
- 1 whole-grain tortilla, ~7 inches
- Lettuce leaves
- 2 slices cooked turkey bacon
- 2 to 4 tomato slices
- ¼ to ½ avocado, sliced
Instructions
- Liberally coat a 10-inch skillet with oil spray and warm over medium heat. Add the eggs, tilting the skillet to evenly distribute them over the bottom of the hot pan.
- Dip one side of the tortilla into the egg, giving it a light coat. Then, place the un-dipped side flat on the pan into the eggs. Let the eggs cook and firm a bit, about 30 seconds. Using a wide spatula, carefully flip the entire thing over like a huge pancake (eggs and tortilla in one careful swoop).
- Layer on the lettuce, bacon, tomato and avocado on ONLY half the tortilla. Then, fold the tortilla half without toppings over the top with the toppings. Transfer to a serving plate, slice in half and dig in!
