Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly golden, about 8-10 minutes. Add the diced bacon and brown sugar. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the bacon is crisp and the brown sugar has dissolved into a glossy glaze, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the bacon and onion mixture from the skillet and set aside.

Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side, until golden brown and crisp. Flip the quesadilla and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and the second side is golden brown. Remove the cooked quesadilla from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to cool slightly.

Recipe View 3 mins Repeat and Serve: Repeat the assembly and cooking process with the remaining ingredients and tortillas. Once the quesadillas are cool enough to handle, slice each one into quarters using a sharp knife or kitchen scissors. Serve immediately and enjoy!

For an extra layer of flavor, try using smoked bacon.
Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese, such as Monterey Jack or Pepper Jack, to adjust the spice level.
If you don't have fresh cilantro, dried cilantro can be used, but fresh cilantro is recommended.
To keep the quesadillas warm while you cook the others, place them on a baking sheet in a preheated 200°F (95°C) oven.
