Ingredients:

2 lean bacon slices
2 flour tortillas
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon pico de gallo
1/4 cup shredded colby-monterey jack cheese
2 cooked chicken breasts

Instructions:

Prepare Bacon: Begin by slicing the lean bacon into strips. Fry them in a pan until they turn crisp but not overly brittle. Once done, remove the bacon from the pan, drain it on paper towels, and set it aside for later use.
Butter Tortillas: Lightly spread butter on one side of each flour tortilla.
Heat Pan: Preheat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
Assemble Quesadillas: Place one tortilla, buttered side down, into the preheated pan. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of the crispy bacon evenly over the entire surface of the tortilla. Next, add 1 tablespoon of pico de gallo and 1/4 cup of shredded colby-monterey jack cheese on top of the bacon. Arrange the cooked chicken breast pieces over the cheese.
Top with Second Tortilla: Carefully place the second flour tortilla on top of the chicken and cheese mixture, ensuring the buttered side faces up.
Cook Quesadilla: Allow the quesadilla to cook for approximately one to two minutes, or until the inside ingredients are heated through. Then, carefully flip the quesadilla to cook the other side. The quesadilla should be heated evenly without browning.
Slice and Serve: Once cooked to perfection, transfer the quesadilla onto a serving dish. Use a sharp knife to cut it into individual triangle serving pieces.
Garnish and Enjoy: Serve the hot and melty quesadillas with your favorite accompaniments such as guacamole, sour cream, and picante sauce.
