Preparation

Cooking
- Beat the eggs in a medium-sized bowl with the salt.
- Heat 1/2 tablespoon of oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot.
- Add the beaten eggs.
- When the bottom is just set, scramble the eggs until they are mostly cooked but the inside is still a bit runny.
- Add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil and the kimchi.
- Stir and cook until the kimchi is toasted and not watery anymore, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Add the zucchini.
- Stir and cook until the zucchini is very lightly cooked, 1 to 2 minutes (*Footnote 1).
- Transfer everything to a big plate to cool.
- Place the tortilla in a large skillet.
- Spread half of the cheese into a thin layer over the whole tortilla.
- Add half of the kimchi-zucchini stir fry over the cheese, then add half of the eggs between the gaps of the vegetables.
- Sprinkle half of the green onion.
- Aim to have everything spread out evenly without too much overlap, so they are all in contact with the cheese.
- Heat up the skillet over medium heat.
- Cook until the cheese is melted completely, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Carefully use a spatula to lift one side of the tortilla and fold it over onto the other side, to form a half moon.
- Once the cheese melts, the toppings will stick to it and stay put during the folding.
- Slide the quesadilla onto a cutting board.
- Use a sharp knife to cut it into three or four even wedges.
- Make the other quesadilla using the same method.
- Garnish the quesadilla with cilantro.
- Serve hot with your favorite salsa, hot sauce, and / or sour cream.
