Follow The Directions

01

Step
10 mins

On one half of each tortilla, evenly distribute 1/4 cup of shredded cheese, 2 tablespoons of petite diced tomatoes, 1 tablespoon of crumbled bacon, and 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh basil. Fold the tortilla in half to create a half-circle shape. (Prep time: 10 minutes)

02

Step
9 mins

Lightly coat a large non-stick skillet or griddle with vegetable oil. Over medium-high heat, cook each quesadilla for approximately 1 1/2 minutes on each side, or until the cheese is fully melted and the tortilla is beautifully golden brown. (Cook time: 8-10 minutes)

03

Step
2 mins

Carefully cut each quesadilla into 4 wedges. Serve immediately with a generous dollop of sour cream for dipping. Enjoy! (Serving time: 2 minutes)

For a vegetarian option, omit the bacon and add some grilled vegetables like bell peppers and onions.
Experiment with different types of cheese to customize the flavor profile. Monterey Jack or pepper jack would be delicious!
Add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for an extra kick of heat.
