Jalapeño Popper Quesadilla

 

It is no secret that I love anything inspired by the jalapeño popper. I love the spicy and creaminess of it. This quesadilla is no exception. Creamy spicy and absolutely delicious. 

I left the seeds in the jalapeños, because I like things a bit spicy. But if you prefer things a little less spicy, you can remove the seeds from one or both jalapeños. 

Jalapeño Popper Quesadilla

Ingredients:

• 2 burrito size flour tortillas
• 4 slices turkey bacon, diced
• 2 jalapeños, diced
• 4 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
• 2 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 2 ounces monterey jack cheese, shredded
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Directions:

1. In a large skillet, over medium-high heat, add in the diced bacon and cook until almost crispy.
2. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together the cream cheese, both shredded cheeses, garlic powder, onion powder and black pepper, until well mixed.
3. When the bacon has about 2-3 minutes left, add in the diced jalapeños and cook until the bacon is crispy and jalapeños are softened.
4. Remove the bacon and jalapeños and place on a paper towel lined plate. Allow to cool slightly.
5. Add the bacon and jalapeños to the cream cheese mixture and stir to mix.
6. Divide the filling between the two tortillas and spread across the tortilla. Fold each tortilla in half.
7. In the same skillet, over medium heat add in a tortilla, or both if the skillet is large enough.
8. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until lightly browned. Flip the tortilla over and cook on the other side until lightly browned.

Enjoy!!!
