Ingredients

  • For the quesadilla:
  • 2 slices lean bacon, sliced into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 2 (8-inch) flour tortillas
  • 2 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 1 tablespoon pico de gallo
  • 1/4 cup Colby-Jack cheese, shredded
  • 2 chicken breasts, cooked and cut into strips
  • Optional toppings:
  • sour cream, to taste
  • guacamole, to taste
  • picante sauce or salsa, to taste

Directions

Step 1 -In a pan over medium heat, fry the bacon, flipping halfway through, until it starts to crisp, about 6-10 minutes.

Step 2 -Transfer the bacon from the pan onto a paper-towel-lined plate to drain.

Step 3 -Preheat a nonstick pan over medium heat.

Step 4 -Spread the butter lightly on 1 side of the flour tortillas.

Step 5 -Place 1 of the tortillas, buttered-side down, into the preheated pan.

Step 6 -Sprinkle the bacon over the tortilla.

Step 7 -Add the pico de gallo on top of the bacon layer.

Step 8 -Add the Colby-Jack cheese over the pico de gallo layer.

Step 9 -Add the cooked chicken on top of the cheese layer.

Step 10 -Place the remaining flour tortilla on top of the chicken layer, buttered-side up.

Step 11 -Cook until the filling is heated through, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 12 -Carefully flip the quesadilla onto the reverse side and cook, about 1-2 minutes. The quesadilla should be heated through but not browned.
