Made a variation of this recipe - left out the meat, doubled up on the eggs, added extra cheese and used sliced Jalapeno peppers in place of the green onion. Managed to make six in total by not overstuffing them...
To-Go Breakfast Quesadilla
Serving 1
INGREDIENTS
2 breakfast sausage links
2 eggs, beaten
Pinch of salt
Pinch of black pepper
1 tablespoon green onions, chopped
⅓ cup cheddar cheese
1 large flour tortilla
PREPARATION Heat non-stick frying pan on medium-high heat and cook sausages. Using the spatula, tear apart the sausage and create bite-size pieces. Add eggs, salt, pepper, and green onions and scramble until just cooked. Place scrambled eggs onto the middle of the large tortilla. From the top of the tortilla, fold down until it meets the middle of the circle. Follow the right end of the crease and bring the corner to meet the middle of the top fold. Repeat the steps until the tortilla becomes a hexagon. Heat pan on medium heat. Place the folded side down and heat until the tortilla has a golden brown colour. Then flip. Wrap the quesadilla in aluminium foil and take it to go!
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 200g/7oz minced lamb
- 3 spring onions, 2 finely sliced, 1 sliced lengthways, to serve
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 4 eggs, stirred to break yolks and combine roughly with white

Method
1.
Heat 1 tsp oil in a frying pan over a medium heat, add the lamb mince
and cook for 3 mins. Add the 2 sliced spring onions and cook for a
further 3 mins. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
2. Heat 2 tsp oil in the same frying pan and add the onion. Cook for 1-2 mins or until it has just started to soften. Stir 50 ml water into the pan and continue cooking until the water has completely disappeared (about 1 min). Remove from the pan and combine the onion with the lamb mixture.
3. Put the beaten eggs and the chilli/Sambal sauce in a shallow dish with ½ tsp salt and stir to combine. Spoon some of the egg/Sambal mix (about a third) over the cut side of the rolls and add some to the lamb mix (about a third) which has been returned to the pan, stirring it in. Place the finger rolls egged side down onto the lamb in the frying pan, pressing them into the lamb mix then spoon the remaining egg/Sambal mix over the tops of the rolls.
4. Fry the finger rolls for 1-2 mins each side or until crispy. Once crispy remove the rolls from the pan, close them back to a roll then drizzle ketchup and mayonnaise over the top and spread spring onion and serve with a chilli sauce.

In the programme the street vendors used a bread roll almost the same length as a french stick. Once cooked it was cut into slices and slid into a long paper bag to take away.
