Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
• 6 slices bacon, diced
• 8 (10 inch) flour tortillas
• 1 cup spicy barbeque sauce
• 0.25 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 0.5 large yellow onion, sliced thin

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Add onion; cook and stir onions until softened about 5 minutes. Stir in bacon pieces and brown sugar, and cook until bacon pieces are crisp. Remove from skillet.

Step 2

Spread 1/4 cup barbecue sauce on one tortilla. Sprinkle with 1/4 of the bacon and onion mixture, 1 tablespoon cilantro, and 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese. Top with a tortilla.

Step 3

Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Place the uncooked quesadilla in the skillet. Cook on one side until browned and crisp, about 3 minutes. Flip, and cook on the other side until the cheese is completely melted, about 2 minutes more. Remove to a paper towel lined plate to cool. Repeat with remaining six tortillas. Slice into quarters using a sharp knife or kitchen scissors when cool enough to handle.
