LauraKKH Recipe ★ Barbeque Bacon Quesadillas

A southern American twist on this simple, classic Mexican dish!

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• ½ large yellow onion, sliced thin
• 6 slices bacon, diced
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 8 (10 inch) flour tortillas
• 1 cup spicy barbeque sauce
• ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese

Cooking Directions

1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Add onion; cook and stir onions until softened about 5 minutes. Stir in bacon pieces and brown sugar, and cook until bacon pieces are crisp. Remove from skillet.
2. Spread 1/4 cup barbecue sauce on one tortilla. Sprinkle with 1/4 of the bacon and onion mixture, 1 tablespoon cilantro, and 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese. Top with a tortilla.
3. Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Place the uncooked quesadilla in the skillet. Cook on one side until browned and crisp, about 3 minutes. Flip, and cook on the other side until the cheese is completely melted, about 2 minutes more. Remove to a paper towel lined plate to cool. Repeat with remaining six tortillas. Slice into quarters using a sharp knife or kitchen scissors when cool enough to handle.
