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.

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.
BACON AND TOMATO QUESADILLAS
It's like a Mexican version of a BLT! You choose whether you want it smoky or zesty by the flavor of petite diced tomatoes you use. Crispy bacon and fresh basil add a new variation to the classic quesadilla. A perfect party finger food or quick snack.

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.
