Bacon Guacamole Quesadillas Recipes

Steps:

• Guacamole: Coarsely mash the avocado in a large bowl. Add the tomato, scallions, lime juice, cilantro, jalapeno, and garlic until blended. Cover and chill until ready to serve.
• Quesadillas: Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Spray a large baking sheet with cooking spray.
• Lightly spray a medium nonstick skillet with cooking spray and set over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook, turning occasionally, until browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer the bacon to paper towels to drain. Crumble and set aside.
• To the same skillet, add the scallions, jalapeno, garlic, cumin, and coriander. Cook, stirring often, over medium heat, until the scallions are soft, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• Place the tortillas on the baking sheet; sprinkle 1/3 of the cheese, 1/3 of the scallion mixture, and 1/3 of the bacon over half of each tortilla. Fold the unfilled half of each tortilla over the filling. Lightly spray the quesadillas with cooking spray. Bake until lightly browned and crisp, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Cut each quesadilla into 4 wedges and serve with the guacamole and sour cream, if using. Garnish with cilantro.

Steps:

• Mash the avocado with the garlic, lemon juice and salt and pepper, to taste. Reserve covered in the refrigerator.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Cook the bacon in a medium saute pan until browned and crisp and transfer to a paper towel lined plate to drain. Crumble and reserve.
• Pour off and reserve all the bacon fat. Saute the onion, garlic, and jalapeno seasoned with the cumin, coriander and salt and pepper, to taste, in a couple tablespoons bacon grease. On 2 tortillas sprinkle half of the grated cheese. Then layer equal amounts of the onion mixture, crumbled bacon, and the remaining grated cheese. Top with the other 2 tortillas.
• Fry quesadillas in bacon grease turning until cheese is fully melted and the tortillas are crisp, about 5 minutes.
• Cut into wedges and serve with the guacamole, sour cream and cilantro on top.

Steps:

• Butter one side of one tortilla; place in a small skillet, buttered side down. Top with cheese, bacon and salsa. Butter remaining tortilla; place on top, buttered side up., Cook over low heat for 1-2 minutes on each side or until cheese is melted. Cut into wedges. Serve with sour cream, guacamole and additional salsa if desired.

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Add onion; cook and stir onions until softened about 5 minutes. Stir in bacon pieces and brown sugar, and cook until bacon pieces are crisp. Remove from skillet.
• Spread 1/4 cup barbecue sauce on one tortilla. Sprinkle with 1/4 of the bacon and onion mixture, 1 tablespoon cilantro, and 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese. Top with a tortilla.
• Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Place the uncooked quesadilla in the skillet. Cook on one side until browned and crisp, about 3 minutes. Flip, and cook on the other side until the cheese is completely melted, about 2 minutes more. Remove to a paper towel lined plate to cool. Repeat with remaining six tortillas. Slice into quarters using a sharp knife or kitchen scissors when cool enough to handle.
