How to Make Bacon And Cheese Quesadillas For Two
- Cook bacon in a small nonstick skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
- Reserve 1 tablespoon of bacon fat in the skillet; discard the rest.
- Add minced shallots and a pinch of salt to the skillet. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until softened (about 2 minutes).
- Transfer the cooked shallots to a small bowl and set aside.
- Wipe the skillet clean with paper towels.
- Lightly toast each tortilla in the skillet over medium-low heat for about 30 seconds per side.
- Transfer the tortillas to a cutting board.
- Divide the cheese, bacon, and shallots equally between the two tortillas.
- Spread the filling evenly over one half of each tortilla, leaving a 1/2-inch border.
- Top with optional jalapeños and/or adobo sauce.
- Fold the tortillas in half, pressing gently to seal.
- Brush the tops of the quesadillas generously with olive oil and sprinkle lightly with salt.
- Place the quesadillas in the skillet, oiled side down. Cook over medium-low heat until the bottom is crisp and well-browned (1-2 minutes).
- Brush the tops with more olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
- Flip the quesadillas and cook the other side until crisp and well-browned (1-2 minutes).
- Transfer the quesadillas to a cutting board and let them cool slightly before cutting in half.
- Serve immediately with your favorite salsa and/or guacamole.
