Chicken, Bacon, Avocado, Cheese...Need I say more?
I've made these quesadillas a few times before, but I originally got the recipe off ...you guessed it, pinterest! They are SO easy to make and super delicious!
I've made them in both burrito size and the soft taco size. Serving size is debatable but it feeds 3 normal people pretty well :) I was able to get 5 out of the burrito size and 6 out of the soft taco size.
Ok, this is what you need:
tortillas (burrito or soft taco)
1 lb chicken
salt and pepper
1/2 cup scallions
8-9 strips of bacon, cooked and chopped
1 avocado diced
mild cheddar cheese, shredded
2 tbsp butter
First off, cook the bacon. The best way and the cleanest way is to cook the bacon is in the oven. I use a slotted broiler pan, but you could use a drying rack on top a sheet pan just the same. Set the temperature to 400 and cook for 10-15 per side. Keep an eye on them!
While the bacon is cooking, prepare your avocado and dice it up. When the bacon is finished cookings and cooling, slice it up! This is what mine looked like.
Put the bacon and avocado aside and your next step is to sauté the scallions. You will want to use a tbsp of bacon drippings so don't get rid of it right away. You'll cook for about 2-3 min until soft. Then you'll add in your chicken chunks in a single layer. Cook for about 5 min, flipping once during cooking.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and rinse it out. Add a little butter to the clean skillet over medium heat. When the butter is foamy, add the tortilla and swirl it around. Then you can start adding in all your bacon, avocado, chicken and cheese. Start to fold tortilla and smash all ingredients in.
Enjoy!
