Ingredients
  

For the Quesadillas
  • 12 mini Flour Tortillas or regular 6-inch tortillas for larger quesadillas
  • 1 cup Shredded Cheese a blend of cheddar and Monterey Jack is recommended
  • 1 cup Cooked Bacon opt for regular or thick-sliced bacon
  • 2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil any neutral oil can be used
  • 1/2 cup Jalapeños chopped; can swap with Anaheim chiles or Serrano peppers
Optional Dipping Sauce
  • 1 cup Salsa try a zesty homemade salsa

Equipment

  • non-stick skillet

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Sprinkle a generous 1/4 cup of shredded cheese on each of two mini flour tortillas. On one tortilla, layer one-sixth of the cooked bacon bits, and on the second, distribute one-sixth of the chopped jalapeños.
  2. In a non-stick skillet, brush a mixture of vegetable oil and a little bacon grease. Heat over medium heat until the oil shimmers, roughly 2-3 minutes.
  3. Carefully place the two tortillas in the skillet, ensuring the plain sides face down. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, until golden brown and crispy.
  4. Gently flip one tortilla onto the other, pressing down lightly to seal. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until cheese is melted and both sides are crispy.
  5. Remove from skillet and place on paper towels to blot excess grease. Repeat for the remaining tortillas until you have 6 mini quesadillas.
  6. Cut each mini quesadilla into wedges and serve warm with salsa on the side.
