It resembles a BLT in Mexican fashion. Depending on the flavor of the little diced tomatoes you use, you can decide whether you want it zesty or smoky. The traditional quesadilla is given a new twist with crispy bacon and fresh basil. A delicious party appetizer or quick snack.

Fast and tasty! I pretty much always have these ingredients on hand so this will be easy to repeat often!
They were good !
This was delicious and simple! I added scrambled eggs and fried onions for a breakfast quesadilla. Will definitely make again! Thanks!
Delicious! I used Fire Roasted Rotel. I think next time we will try the spicier one. We also used Turkey Bacon just because I prefer it.
Had fun making these with the grandkids. I used two sun-dried tomato basil tortillas and cutout the top one in the shape of a jack-o’-lantern for the fall season. The grands loved the spiciness of the tomatoes and the bacon was the perfect compliment.
This recipe was awesome! I added some leftover pork chop pieces and chopped jalapeño, which was great! Will definitely make again.
This was a good, simple and tasty quick dinner. I thought the proportions were spot on. I did not have fresh basil, so used a sprinkle of dried. Thanks for sharing your recipe!
I make this at least once a week!! My husband likes when I add some lightly seasoned chicken strips (cut to 1/2 inch pieces)
This was delicious! I can’t wait to make it again.
It was so good! i didn’t have very much time so i microwaved it, but it was still good! The bacon was a very nice touch. 🙂
My sons love this and so do I! I cook the bacon first and then cook the quesadillas in the bacon grease. Obviously, this adds some calories, but it’s very tasty. I’m a slow cook and even I can make these quickly.
This is a great, simple recipe! My children loved it and it is a quick “go to” when you are in a hurry. Just about any meat will be great with this recipe.
