Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Flour tortillas (large, 10-inch)
- 8 slices Bacon strips
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes (halved or diced)
- 1 cup Romaine lettuce leaves (shredded)
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.25 cup Ranch dressing (optional, for dipping)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat a skillet or frying pan over medium heat.
Cook the bacon slices in the skillet until crispy, about 7-8 minutes. Remove the bacon and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Crumble into smaller pieces once cooled.
While the bacon is cooking, prepare the other ingredients: halve or dice the cherry tomatoes, shred the lettuce, and grate the cheddar cheese if not pre-shredded.
Wipe the skillet clean with a paper towel and return it to medium heat.
Spread 1/2 tablespoon of butter on one side of each tortilla.
Place one tortilla butter-side down on the skillet.
Sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over half of the tortilla. Add a layer of crumbled bacon, cherry tomatoes, shredded lettuce, and a small pinch of salt and pepper. Fold the tortilla in half to cover the filling.
Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula, until both sides are golden and the cheese is melted.
Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it cool for 1-2 minutes before slicing into wedges.
Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Serve warm with ranch dressing on the side, if desired.
