Cheesy Chicken, Bacon & Avacado Quesadillas


    I made this last week and the whole fam loved it. Yum! Enjoy!



  • 4 medium-sized tortillas {I use whole wheat, but you can whatever kind you prefer}

  • 1 lb chicken, cut into bite-sized pieces

  • salt and pepper

  • 1/2 cup scallions {optional}

  • diced 8 strips of bacon, cooked & crumbled

  • 1 avocado, diced

  • mild cheddar cheese, shredded

  • 2 tbsp butter

Cook bacon. Add 1/2 tbsp bacon drippings to a skillet over medium heat. Add the scallions and saute about 2-3 mins until softened. Add the chicken in a single layer, season with salt and pepper, and cook for about 5 mins or until chicken is golden and cooked through, flipping just once during cooking. Remove the chicken and scallions to a plate and rinse out the skillet.


Add about 1/2 tbsp butter to the skillet over medium heat. When foamy, add a tortilla and swirl it around to get it nice and buttery. Layer one side of the tortilla with chicken, bacon, avocado, and a little cheese. Use tongs to flip the other half of the tortilla over and press down. Cook the tortilla for about 1-2 mins on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Repeat with the rest of the tortillas, adding a little more butter for each tortilla as needed. Eat & enjoy!
