  2. Place the refried beans along with the taco seasoning into a small heavy bottomed saucepan. Stir to mix well. Gently heat over low heat.

  6. Scatter 1/4 cup of cheese on top of the refried beans.
  7. Divide the scrambled egg onto the cheesy tortilla.
  8. Top the scrambled egg with slices of the avocado, then top with the other tortilla.
  9. Melt the other 1 teaspoon of butter on the griddle or in the large frying pan. If, you are using a frying pan, you will have to do this step one quesadilla at a time. Place the filled tortillas on top of the griddle. Cook over medium low heat. Flip after two (2) minutes. Cook the other side for two (2) minutes.
  10. Remove the breakfast quesadilla from the griddle, let cool for 1 minute.
