Blt Quesadillas Recipes

BLT QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• Place a tortilla on a clean workspace.
• Mix the cheese & cumin in a mixing bowl until well blended.
• Using a table knife or small rubber spatula, spread a fourth of the cheese mixture on the tortilla, going almost to the edges.
• Then arrange a fourth of the tomatoes on one half of the tortilla.
• Drizzle the tomatoes with 1/2 tsp balsamic vinegar on each tortilla.
• Lay a fourth of the bacon pieces over the tomatoes, then top with a fourth of the spinach.
• Fold the tortilla in half and press down gently to secure the filling.
• Repeat to make three more quesadillas.
• Heat up your grill (to medium-low), brush the grate with olive oil (while it is still cool or prior to putting on the heat). I would recommend brushing the outside of the tortilla with the olive oil also. (you can also cook them in a skillet at medium heat).
• When grill is hot, add the quesadillas in a single layer.
• Using a spatula, press down on the quesadillas, and cook until grill marks appear (or it is lightly browned in a skillet), about two minutes.
• Carefully turn the quesadillas over and cook until grill marks appear (or lightly browned if using skillet), about 2 minutes more.
• Remove and cover loosely with foil to keep warm until all quesadillas are cooked.
• Cut each tortilla into 3 wedges and arrange on a dinner or salad plate.

BACON AND TOMATO QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• Layer on half of each tortilla: 1/4 cup cheese, 2 tablespoons diced tomatoes. 1 tablespoon bacon and 1 tablespoon basil. Fold each tortilla in half to form a half circle.
• Lightly coat a large nonstick skillet or griddle with oil. Cook each quesadilla, over medium-high heat for 1 1/2 minutes on each side until cheese is melted and tortilla is lightly browned.
• Cut the quesadilla into 4 wedges and serve with sour cream.
