Quesadillas

Ingredients:

  • 2 (10-inch) flour tortillas
  • 2 tablespoons butter (softened)
  • 1/3 cup Monterey Jack cheese (shredded)
  • 1/3 cup cheddar cheese (shredded)
  • ½ medium tomato (chopped)
  • 2 teaspoons onion (diced)
  • 1 teaspoon canned jalapeño (diced, optional)
  • 1 slice bacon (cooked)
  • ¼ teaspoon fresh cilantro (finely chopped)
  • Dash salt
  • Sides
    • Sour cream
    • Guacamole
    • Salsa

Directions

Heat a large frying pan over medium heat.

Spread half of the butter on one side of each tortilla. Put one tortilla, butter side down, in the hot pan.

Spread the cheese evenly onto the center of the tortilla in the pan. You don't have to spread it all the way to the edge. Leave a margin of an inch or so all the way around.

Sprinkle the tomato, onion and jalapeño (if desired) over the cheese.

Crumble the slice of cooked bacon and sprinkle over the other ingredients.

Sprinkle the cilantro and a dash of salt over the other ingredients.

Top off the quesadilla with the remaining tortilla, being sure that the buttered side is facing up.

When the bottom tortilla has browned, after 45-90 seconds, flip the quesadilla over and grill the other side for the same length of time.

Remove the quesadilla from the pan, and, using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the quesadilla three times through the middle like a pizza, creating six equal slices. Serve hot with sour cream, guacamole, and salsa on the side.
