Ingredients
  • 8 burrito size soft tortillas
  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • 3 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
  • 1 pound bacon cooked and crumbled
  • 1 cup candied jalapenos (recipe in post above) or fresh, sliced jalapenos
  • Optional for dipping: jalapeno jelly or ranch dressing
Instructions

  1. For each quesadilla spread some cream cheese on 1 side of the tortilla. Drizzle olive oil in a large skillet over medium low heat, place the tortilla flat in the skillet.

    Note: These can be cooked all at once on the Blackstone griddle or flat top grill over medium low heat.

  2. On the same side as the cream cheese sprinkle with cheese, chicken, bacon, and candied jalapenos (or regular jalapenos), and then a little more cheese.

  3. Fold the empty side of tortilla on top of the filled side. Cook 1 to 2 minutes and then flip, cook an additional 1 to 2 minutes. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

  4. Serve with more candied jalapenos on the side, and also with jalapeno jelly or ranch for dipping if desired.
