Instructions

  1. Combine mayonnaise, lime juice, and hot sauce; transfer to a zip-top bag.

  2. Divide cheese between two tortillas to assemble each quesadilla.

  3. Heat butter in a large non-stick pan over medium heat, then fry eggs sunny-side up and season with salt and pepper. Transfer eggs to a plate and keep warm.

  4. Cook the quesadillas in the same hot pan until cheese melts and tortillas toast, flipping once.

  5. Add half the salsa to each quesadilla, then immediately flip to cook salsa-side down until mostly absorbed.

  6. Top with remaining salsa, flip again, and cook until absorbed before transferring quesadillas to a plate.

  7. Place a fried egg on each quesadilla, then snip the bag tip and drizzle with sauce, finishing with sliced scallions.
