Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 4 tortillas
  • 4 slices thick bacon, diced and sauteed
  • 4 jalapenos, fine diced (seeds and ribs removed), you can leave a few in if you don't mind the heat
  • 4 tablespoons boursin cheese (or any herb cheese, cream cheese with herbs is a good substitute)
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • Olive oil
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Tortillas ... Stack the tortillas on a damp paper towel, wrap them up, and microwave on medium low heat for 15-20 seconds until the tortillas are slightly warm. This is necessary so they don't break when you fold them.

  • Step 2: Filling ... Spread 1 tablespoon of cheese over each tortilla on 1 side. The tortilla will be folded in half, so just add the fillings to 1/2 of the tortilla. Top the herb cheese with the bacon, then the jalapenos, and 1/2 cup of the cheddar cheese. Fold in half.

  • Step 3: Grill ... An outdoor grill, indoor grill pan, or even a saute pan; and you can even bake these. Brush the top with olive oil and place that side down on the grill or pan; then brush the other side. Grill until you get good grill marks, or until the quesadilla is lightly golden brown. Flip and cook the other side. If using the oven, 400 degrees and bake on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper or foil - 5-7 minutes per side.

  • Step 4: Serve ... Use a knife or pizza cutter and slice each quesadilla into 3 wedges. You can serve with sour cream if you want, but I don't think it is necessary. A few lime wedges to squeeze is a nice flavor if you like. ENJOY!
