BLT QUESADILLAS

This is a bit different from the recipe already on Zaar for BLT quesadillas. this one is a bit fancier, came from the Hartford Courant food section 7/19/2007 - haven't tried it yet but plan to soon. I am not a fan of goat cheese so will try some substitute! I highly recommend microwaving the bacon using Recipe #173076. Cooking time for quesadillas does not include cooking time for bacon.

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 large flour tortillas (9 inch)
8 ounces soft fresh goat cheese (or other soft, spreadable cheese)
1 teaspoon cumin
1 lb tomatoes, stemmed & sliced 1/4-inch thick
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
8 pieces bacon, cooked until crisp and well drained then cut into 1-inch pieces
2 cups Baby Spinach
olive oil, for grilling

Steps:

  • Place a tortilla on a clean workspace.
  • Mix the cheese & cumin in a mixing bowl until well blended.
  • Using a table knife or small rubber spatula, spread a fourth of the cheese mixture on the tortilla, going almost to the edges.
  • Then arrange a fourth of the tomatoes on one half of the tortilla.
  • Drizzle the tomatoes with 1/2 tsp balsamic vinegar on each tortilla.
  • Lay a fourth of the bacon pieces over the tomatoes, then top with a fourth of the spinach.
  • Fold the tortilla in half and press down gently to secure the filling.
  • Repeat to make three more quesadillas.
  • Heat up your grill (to medium-low), brush the grate with olive oil (while it is still cool or prior to putting on the heat). I would recommend brushing the outside of the tortilla with the olive oil also. (you can also cook them in a skillet at medium heat).
  • When grill is hot, add the quesadillas in a single layer.
  • Using a spatula, press down on the quesadillas, and cook until grill marks appear (or it is lightly browned in a skillet), about two minutes.
  • Carefully turn the quesadillas over and cook until grill marks appear (or lightly browned if using skillet), about 2 minutes more.
  • Remove and cover loosely with foil to keep warm until all quesadillas are cooked.
  • Cut each tortilla into 3 wedges and arrange on a dinner or salad plate.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh, ripe tomatoes, crispy bacon, and melty cheese are essential.
  • Don't overstuff the quesadillas. Too much filling will make them difficult to fold and cook evenly.
  • Cook the quesadillas over medium heat so that the cheese has time to melt and the tortillas have time to get crispy.
  • Serve the quesadillas immediately with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, guacamole, or salsa.
