A FUN TWIST ON QUESADILLAS
If you watch TikTok then you’ve seen these fun and different Tortilla Hacks. If you haven’t seen a lot, then I think you’re gonna find it really cool! I decided I had to try it out and ended up deciding on a BLT version. Let me tell you, these BLT Quesadillas are absolutely delicious and half the mess of a regular BLT! It is so simple to put together and just plain fun! If you want a delicious BLT (that doesn’t fall apart when you eat it!) then you need to try this BLT Quesadilla recipe!
TIPS AND TRICKS ON HOW TO MAKE A BLT QUESADILLA:
- You want to purchase large, burrito-sized tortillas not soft taco sized.
- To make this easier to make, feel free to use store-bought real bacon pieces (these can usually be found with the salad toppings in your grocery store.)
- I like to use shredded iceberg lettuce but you can have fun with this recipe and use romaine, butter lettuce or even some arugula or spinach leaves!
- The type of shredded cheese used is completely customizable. Mozzarella, gouda or even goat cheese would all taste great!
- Make sure you get a light brown char on each side of your tortillas. Since these are folded over, you want to make sure the cheese is melted.
- Really want to take these up a notch – try serving this with my recipe for HOMEMADE RANCH DRESSING!
INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (FULL RECIPE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE POST)
- tortillas
- mayonnaise
- bacon
- tomato
- cheese
- lettuce
- butter
HOW TO MAKE BLT QUESADILLAS:
Cut one tortilla down the center halfway down. Spread half a tablespoon of mayonnaise on one quarter of the tortilla.
On top of the mayo lay 2-3 pieces of bacon on top. On the side directly above the bacon, spread out 2-3 tablespoons of diced tomato in an even layer. Then across from the tomato side, add a large handful of cheese and spread it evenly. On the last side, sprinkle around a handful of lettuce in an even layer.
Fold the bacon side up to the tomato side.
Then the folded side to the cheese side.
Then the cheese side to the lettuce side.
Melt a tablespoon of butter in a medium size frying pan over medium heat. Add 2-3 wraps/quesadillas to the pan.
Fry each quesadilla for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until a light crust starts to form (adding more butter to the pan as needed.)
Repeat the process with any remaining wraps then serve with ranch or hot sauce.
HOW TO STORE:
These are best the day that they are made and I don’t recommend storing them after making. If you have some leftover, you can place them in a ziptop bag and place in the refrigerator for 1-2 days at most. Reheat in pan or in the microwave.
