Chicken and Bacon Quesadillas

Quesadillas are a quick and easy lunch or dinner that you can basically toss together in minutes!  All it takes is a bit of prep work and you're good to go! 

Ingredients:

- 2 large chicken breasts, seasoned with your choice of seasonings, grilled and sliced.
- Flour Tortillas ( I use the Fajita size)
- REAL Bacon bits...do not get the crunchy kind!
- Butter
- Shredded Cheese
- Toppings:  Onion, tomato, jalapenos (or whatever you like!)

Directions:

1.  In your skillet, melt about 1 1/2 tablespoon of butter.  Your skillet needs to be on about medium high heat.

2.  Place one tortilla down into the skillet and place a small amount of cheese on to it, spreading it as evenly as possible.  Top with the chicken and the bacon.  Then, if you want the toppings, top with those as well.  Top that with more cheese so everything sticks together.  Top with the other tortilla.

3.  Press down on the quesadilla firmly with your hand (or large, manly meat hooks in my case....) and move it around to get that butter browning on the bottom.  Flip it over when the cheese on the bottom has melted and the tortilla has reached your desired brown-ness.  My husband prefers his almost burnt.  I like mine brown as shown.  It's a preference thing!

4.  Once the other side is browned and your cheese is melted perfectly, remove your quesadilla to a plate and allow it to sit for at LEAST 4 minutes!  That way when you cut it, it doesn't just go all over the place.  I use a pizza cutter to cut it into 4 triangles, but you don't have to do that if you don't want to.  It will all taste the same!

Here's the final product.....

I served ours with a side of homemade Mexican rice.  Very satisfying, very filling, and the best part is (besides the bacon...) is that it was SIMPLE, which is just what this working Mommy needs on a busy weeknight!  Try this today...you can't go wrong when it involves bacon! ;-)
