Ingredients
- 2 lices Bacon cut into 1/2 inch pieces
- 2 flour tortillas burrito size
- 2 teaspoons butter
- 1 tablespoon Pico de Gallo
- 1/4 cup Colby jack cheese shredded
- 1 tablespoon sour cream
- 1 tablespoon guacamole
- 1 tablespoon picante sauce
Instructions
- Slice the bacon into pieces and and fry it in a non-stick skillet until the bacon starts to turn crisp but not hard and brittle.
- Transfer the bacon from the skillet to a paper towel-lined plate to drain off the grease.
- Pour off the grease from the skillet and wipe it clean. Put the skillet over medium heat.
- Spread butter lightly on one side of the tortillas.
- Place the buttered side of a tortilla down in the skillet that has been preheated on medium heat.
- Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of bacon over the entire tortilla.
- Spread 1 tablespoon Pico de Gallo and 1/4 cup shredded Colby Jack cheese over the bacon.
- Place the second tortilla on top, buttered side up.
- Cook for about one or two minutes, just long enough to heat the inside ingredients.
- Carefully flip the quesadilla on the other side and finish cooking. The quesadilla should be heated through but not browned.
- Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and place it on a plate.
- Cut the quesadilla into triangles.
- Serve quesadillas with your favorite guacamole, sour cream, and salsa or picante sauce.
