Yum. I love quesadillas! My take: instead of using butter in a skillet, I use a griddle and brush the tortilla with oil (olive or canola is healthiest), fill half and then fold over; flip as needed until brown on both sides and cheese is melted.

I do quesadillas with beans a lot, either refried or cooked black beans. I’ve never had them with bacon, but I bet it’s good!

We had these tonight, using up leftover bacon, chicken I cooked ahead of time for a recipe I’m making tomorrow, and some avocados that were about to be too soft/brown to use. DELICIOUS. My husband and I thought the guacamole really pushed it over the top, so very good. Thanks for the recipe! And I used my cast iron pan and cooking spray, and that worked great.

LOOOOVE this recipe. It’s so quick, we’ve been doing it for years. And I love the crispy outside you get by using the skillet rather than the microwave! We usually use olive oil instead of butter, and bacon bits instead of bacon ( I know I know, not as frugal!)

Funny, I just whipped up a batch of Need to Use it Bacon-Leftover Baked Potato-Shredded Drying Out Cheddar-quesadillas for lunch yesterday. Thought I was being so use-it-uppish and frugal then I come over here and see you just did the same thing .

You can also used refried beans as a hold-everything-together ingredient. I mix refried beans and whatever veggies I have on hand (often corn, onions, and peppers) and put that in my quesadillas. You can add cheese if you want to but the refried beans get all melty and creamy too.

I love quesadillas. They’re so easy. I do them in the oven though. When I make them I usually serve them with spanish rice or refried beans and fruit.

Sometimes we make BBQ pulled pork quesadillas. You can either use your own homemade pulled pork or can buy those tubs of pre-made pulled pork. They’re yummy!

Fun idea! What would you suggest serving as a side?

I make these all the time! In fact, I made a batch for lunch on Sunday and ended up tossing in some leftover Pepperoni I had gotten for pizza. I find Quesadilla’s are kind of like quiche, you can toss in just about anything and they still turn out great. When my sister brings her kids over they just scarf them down.
