Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Flour tortillas
- 4 tablespoons Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
- 4 slices Cooked bacon, crumbled
- 2 medium Fresh jalapeños, finely diced
- 2 tablespoons Butter, softened
Instructions
Place all four tortillas on a flat surface. Spread 1 tablespoon of softened cream cheese evenly over one side of each tortilla.
In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese, shredded Monterey Jack cheese, crumbled bacon, and diced jalapeños.
Sprinkle an even layer of the cheese mixture over the cream cheese side of two tortillas, making sure to distribute the mixture evenly to the edges.
Place the remaining two tortillas, cream cheese side down, on top of the cheese-covered tortillas to create two quesadillas.
Preheat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly spread 1 tablespoon of butter onto the top side of each quesadilla.
Place the quesadillas, buttered side down, onto the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and crispy.
Spread the remaining butter on the top side of each quesadilla, then carefully flip them over using a spatula. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the other side is golden and the cheese is melted.
Remove the quesadillas from the skillet and let them cool for 1-2 minutes. Slice each into quarters and serve immediately with sour cream or salsa, if desired.
