Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Time 16m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 slices thin-cut bacon
2/3 cup grated pepper jack cheese
2 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
2 burrito-size tortillas
1 tablespoon salted butter
1 cup shredded rotisserie chicken
2 jalapenos, stemmed, quartered and seeded
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Place a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook, turning as needed, until crisp, about 8 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate, reserving a couple of tablespoons of bacon fat.
  • While the bacon is frying, mix together the pepper jack, cream cheese, cayenne pepper and cumin in a bowl. Spread onto one of the tortillas and set aside.
  • Wipe out the skillet and return it to the heat. Heat the butter and reserved bacon fat until the butter is melted, then place the prepared tortilla in the skillet, cheese-side up. Top with the chicken and jalapenos. Crumble over the bacon and top with the second tortilla. Cook until golden on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board, slice and sprinkle over the cilantro before serving.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
  • Choose a good quality cheese that melts well, such as cheddar, Monterey Jack, or mozzarella.
  • If you don't have a grill, you can cook the quesadillas in a skillet over medium heat.
  • To make the jalapeño spread, be sure to remove the seeds and ribs from the jalapeños before chopping them. This will help to reduce the heat level.
  • You can adjust the amount of jalapeños in the spread to taste. If you like a spicier spread, add more jalapeños.
  • The jalapeño spread can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
  • Serve the quesadillas with your favorite toppings, such as guacamole, salsa, or sour cream.

Conclusion:

Quesadillas with Jalapeño Spread are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They're perfect for a party or a quick weeknight meal.
