Ingredients
FOR THE QUESADILLAS
- 1 flour tortilla
- 1 tsp butter
- 1/4 cup grated cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup bacon
- 1 Tbsp ranch dressing
TOPPINGS FOR SERVING
- 1/2 cup lettuce
- 1/3 cup diced tomatoes
Instructions
FOR THE QUESADILLAS
- Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Be sure to use medium heat so the insides of the quesadilla will melt before the outside burns.
- Place one tortilla in skillet.
- Sprinkle cheddar cheese over tortilla in the skillet. Add crumbled bacon. Drizzle with ranch dressing.
- Top with remaining tortilla.
- Cook until the bottom of the quesadilla is golden brown. Then flip and repeat on the other side. It usually takes about 5 minutes.
- Remove quesadilla from the skillet and transfer to a cutting board. Let rest for about a minute then cut in wedges.
- Serve with shredded lettuce and diced tomatoes. You can also dip them in extra ranch if you'd like!
Notes
I like adding sliced or shredded chicken to these quesadillas. It's especially easy if I have leftover grilled chicken!
