Ingredients

  • * 1/2 lb. shredded or diced cooked chicken (I used one large boneless, skinless chicken breast, cooked in the oven)
  • * 3/4 c. barbecue sauce (bottled or homemade)
  • * 1/2 lb. bacon
  • * 1 onion, thinly sliced
  • * 2 c. shredded cheese (I use Monterrey Jack, but anything would work)
  • * 6 burrito-sized flour tortillas
  • * Butter

Directions

  1. . Combine chicken and barbecue sauce. Set aside.

  2. Dice the bacon and add to a small skillet. Cook until desired crispness. Remove bacon from skillet with a slotted spoon to drain.

  3. Add the sliced onion to the bacon grease in the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes, until fully cooked. Remove onions with a slotted spoon and drain.

  4. Build quesadillas – on a tortilla layer cheese, chicken, bacon, onion, more cheese and top with a second tortilla.

  5. Cook quesadillas in a large skillet with melted butter.
