Ingredients

  • 2 8-inch tortillas
  • 1/2 c. Cabot 4-Cheese Mexican blend shredded cheese
  • 2 Tbs. crumbled bacon bits
  • 1/4 Granny Smith apple finely chopped
  • 1/2 c. Cabot shredded mozzarella

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400F.
  2. Place a 10-12 inch piece of aluminum foil on a clean counter. Place one tortilla in the center of the foil.
  3. Then, evenly spread Mexican cheese, crumbled bacon pieces, and chopped apple over top of tortilla. Finally, sprinkle with mozzarella.
  4. Top with second tortilla and another 10-12 inch piece of aluminum foil. Curl edges of foil all of the way around, creating a sealed packed.
  5. Place directly on a rack in the oven and cook for 15 minutes, or until cheese is totally melted.
  6. Slice and serve hot, with your favorite toppings.

Recipe Notes

  • I used Mission Carb Balance Tortillas. If you use a larger tortilla, you may need more cheese and fixings.
  • Stove top directions: Place assembled quesadilla (assembled as directed above) in a 10-inch or larger non-stick skillet set over medium-low heat. Cook until bottom is starting to brown and cheese is melting. Flip and continue cooking until cheese is completely melted.
