Bacon Chicken Cheese Quesadillas

Quesadillas...simple and tasty! Makes one large quesadilla

Grocery List:
2 10-inch flour tortillas
2 tablespoons butter, softened
1 cup diced chicken
3/4 cup cheese (You can usually find a "fiesta" or "mexican" blend in the grocery store.)
1/2 medium tomato, chopped
2 teaspoons diced onions
1 teaspoon diced canned jalapeno
1 slice bacon, cooked (You can also used real bacon bits to save on the amount of mess.)
1/4 teaspoon finely chopped cilantro (Optional)
1 dash salt

Optional toppings:

Sour cream
Guacamole
Salsa

Instructions:

Heat a large frying pan over medium heat. Spread half of the butter on one side of each tortilla.
Put one tortilla, butter side down, in the hot pan, then spread cheese and cut up chicken strips in the center of the tortilla, leaving about an each all the way around.
Sprinkle the tomato, onion, and jalapeno over the chicken and cheese.
Crumble the slice of cooked bacon and sprinkle it over the other ingredients.
Sprinkle the cilantro and a dash of salt over the other ingredients.
Top off the quesadilla with the remaining tortilla, being sure that the buttered side is facing up.
When the bottom tortilla has browned, after 45-90 seconds, flip the quesadilla over and grill the other side for the same amount of time.
Remove the quesadilla from the pan, and, using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the quesadilla three times through the middle like a pizza, creating 6 equal slices.
Cover to keep warm while preparing additional quesadillas.

Serve hot with sour cream, guacamole, and salsa on the side.

Notes:

There are some pretty good Spanish rices you can find in the grocery store. That makes a great side.
