Ingredients
Scale
- 4 slices bacon, chopped

- 1 tablespoon olive oil (see note)
- 2 cups shredded cheddar or taco blend cheese
- ½ cup of your favorite salsa
- Your choice of toppings (guacamole, sour cream, extra salsa, etc)
Instructions
- Cook bacon in a skillet until done to your liking. Scoop out and drain on paper towels.
- Set waffle iron to its highest setting.
- Brush one side of each tortilla with olive oil (or if you are feeling adventurous, the bacon drippings from the skillet!).
- Put one tortilla oiled side down on the waffle iron. Spread ½ cup of the cheese on the tortilla (leaving about 1 inch of the tortilla empty all around the edge), followed by half the cooked bacon, half the salsa, and another ½ cup of the cheese. Place the second tortilla on top, oiled side up, and close the waffle iron.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes until the tortillas are browned and the cheese is melty.
- Remove and repeat with the rest of the ingredients.
- Cut each quesadilla into 4 wedges and serve with toppings!
Notes
You can swap out the olive oil for the bacon drippings from the skillet if you are feeling especially bacon-ish!
