QUESADILLA JALAPENO SPREAD

Steps:

CHICKEN JALAPENO POPPER QUESADILLA

Steps:

• Place a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook, turning as needed, until crisp, about 8 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate, reserving a couple of tablespoons of bacon fat.
• While the bacon is frying, mix together the pepper jack, cream cheese, cayenne pepper and cumin in a bowl. Spread onto one of the tortillas and set aside.
• Wipe out the skillet and return it to the heat. Heat the butter and reserved bacon fat until the butter is melted, then place the prepared tortilla in the skillet, cheese-side up. Top with the chicken and jalapenos. Crumble over the bacon and top with the second tortilla. Cook until golden on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board, slice and sprinkle over the cilantro before serving.

• Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Arrange jalapeno peppers, cut-side down, on the prepared baking sheet.
• Broil jalapeno peppers in the preheated oven until skins are bubbling and blackened, 10 to 15 minutes. Immediately place peppers in a resealable plastic bag; seal. Allow peppers to steam in bag to help loosen skins, about 20 minutes. Carefully open bag, pull skins off peppers, and chop peppers.
• Spread half the butter onto 1 side of each tortilla. Spread half the cream cheese onto the other side of each tortilla. Sprinkle half the jalapeno peppers, half the Mexican cheese blend, and half the tortilla chips over the cream cheese-side of each tortilla. Fold each tortilla in half over the fillings with butter-side on the outside.
• Heat a skillet over medium-low heat; cook 1 quesadilla in the hot skillet until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Repeat with second quesadilla.
