Description: Delight in this scrumptious BLT Quesadilla recipe, a perfect blend of crispy bacon, gooey cheese, juicy tomatoes, and fresh lettuce, all nestled between two golden tortillas. Quick and easy to make, these quesadillas are perfect for a speedy lunch or a satisfying snack.
Ingredients:
- 4 strips of bacon
- 4 slices of cheese (your choice, cheddar or Swiss works great!)
- 4 ripe tomatoes, sliced
- 1/2 cup shredded lettuce
- 4 flour tortillas
Instructions:
-
Cook the Bacon: Begin by frying the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until it becomes crispy and golden. Once cooked, transfer the bacon strips to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess fat.
-
Prepare the Pan: Carefully discard most of the bacon fat from the pan but make sure to leave a light coating to enhance the flavor. If you prefer, rinse the pan and coat it with cooking spray to avoid any leftover bacon residue.
-
Assemble the Quesadillas: Place one tortilla in the pan over medium heat. On top of this tortilla, layer 2 slices of tomato, 2 strips of bacon, and 1 slice of cheese. Sprinkle the shredded lettuce over the cheese and then place another slice of cheese on top. Finally, cover with the second tortilla.
-
Cook the Quesadillas: Cook the quesadilla for about 2 minutes on each side, pressing down gently with a spatula to ensure the cheese melts and the tortillas become crispy and golden brown.
-
Serve: Once both sides are golden and the cheese is melted, remove the quesadilla from the pan. Let it cool for a minute before cutting into wedges. Serve warm with your favorite salsa and sour cream on the side if desired.
Optional Tip: If you prefer your lettuce fresh and crispy, you might want to serve it on the side rather than inside the quesadilla. This way, it won’t wilt from the heat of the pan.
