# Ingredients:
→ For the Quesadillas
01 -
2 flour tortillas
02 -
1 teaspoon unsalted butter
03 -
1/4 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated
04 -
1/4 cup bacon, cooked and crumbled
05 -
1 tablespoon ranch dressing
→ Toppings for Serving
06 -
1/2 cup iceberg lettuce, shredded
07 -
1/3 cup fresh tomatoes, diced
# Steps:
01 -
Place a skillet over medium heat. Add butter to the pan and swirl until fully melted.
02 -
Lay one tortilla in the skillet. Evenly distribute grated cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon over the surface. Drizzle ranch dressing across the filling, then top with the second tortilla.
03 -
Allow the bottom tortilla to cook until golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Carefully flip the quesadilla and toast the other side until cheese is melted and both sides are crisp, about 2 more minutes.
04 -
Transfer quesadilla to a cutting board and let rest for 1 minute. Slice into wedges.
05 -
Plate with shredded lettuce and diced tomatoes on the side. Serve warm; optionally, accompany with additional ranch dressing.
# Notes:
01 -
For optimal results, use medium heat to ensure the cheese melts evenly before the tortillas toast too quickly. Resting briefly before slicing allows the melted cheese to settle.
