CBAC quesadillas

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. 

Flipping it can be kind of tricky, but if you use tongs it's a bit easier. The other side should look like this:

When it's golden brown and super delicious looking on both sides, then it's ready!!

Enjoy!

This weekend...

• On Friday I checked out bridesmaid dresses with my maid of honor, Bailey. This was one of our favorites. We're going to try some other stores too, hopefully get all my bridesmaids together next time!

• Spent way too much money and time dealing with car maintenance. $234 and five hours later, I had my tires rotated, oil changed, engine belts replaced and a car wash. It was pretty lame and I wasn't in the best mood. Scott cheered me up with a snow cone, which made things better! 

• Planned on painting our two extra bedrooms but only finished painting one room and found out it's going to take two coats. two, ugh! The other bedroom is going to need two coats as well because they are both the same dark/ugly/purple color. Can you tell I'm bitter about it? 

• After our painting fail, we decided we were going to have fun, because two bad days in a row weren't happening. So we went rock climbing

• We went swimming at our friends house.

my pool boy ;)

• We ate drunkin chicken. Have you ever made this? You stuff a can of beer up a chickens yoo hoo and grill it up. It keeps the chicken super moist and turns out delish! I highly recommend it.

What did you do this weekend? Are you as ready for Friday as I am?!?!
