Ingredients

• 4 pieces Flour tortillas (large, 10-inch)
• 8 slices Bacon strips
• 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes (halved or diced)
• 1 cup Romaine lettuce leaves (shredded)
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 0.25 cup Ranch dressing (optional, for dipping)
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a skillet or frying pan over medium heat.

Step 2

Cook the bacon slices in the skillet until crispy, about 7-8 minutes. Remove the bacon and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Crumble into smaller pieces once cooled.

Step 3

While the bacon is cooking, prepare the other ingredients: halve or dice the cherry tomatoes, shred the lettuce, and grate the cheddar cheese if not pre-shredded.

Step 4

Wipe the skillet clean with a paper towel and return it to medium heat.

Step 5

Spread 1/2 tablespoon of butter on one side of each tortilla.

Step 6

Place one tortilla butter-side down on the skillet.

Step 7

Sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over half of the tortilla. Add a layer of crumbled bacon, cherry tomatoes, shredded lettuce, and a small pinch of salt and pepper. Fold the tortilla in half to cover the filling.

Step 8

Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula, until both sides are golden and the cheese is melted.

Step 9

Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it cool for 1-2 minutes before slicing into wedges.

Step 10

Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling.

Step 11

Serve warm with ranch dressing on the side, if desired.
