  3. Add to the skillet and cook, stirring to scramble, until the eggs are nearly set.
  4. Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the eggs.
  5. Reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet until the cheese melts, about a minute.
  6. Chipotle Scrambled Eggs make a great huevos rancherosstyle quesadilla.
  7. When cooking the eggs, place a tortilla on top of them in the pan while theyre still a little wet.
  8. When the eggs are cooked, flip them over so the tortilla is on the pan with egg on top.
  9. (You might need 2 spatulas.)
  10. Sprinkle on some cheese and salsa, and top with a second tortilla.
  11. When the cheese is melted, flip the quesadilla over to brown the top tortilla.
  12. Cut into wedges.
