Ingredients
  

Quesadillas

Equipment

  • Large skillet or griddle
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Transfer the cooked bacon to a paper towel and drain the remaining grease.
  2. Add the ground chicken and cook until no pink remains.
  3. Add the ranch seasoning and bacon pieces back to the cooked ground chicken. Stir well until no visible ranch seasoning remains. Transfer the ground chicken mixture to a bowl or plate and set aside.
  4. Place the same skillet or a large griddle over medium-low to medium heat. Spray with a tiny bit of cooking spray and add tortilla(s).
  5. Place 2 tablespoons (14g) of cheese on one half of each tortilla, followed by the ground chicken mixture (about 40-45g) and another 2 tablespoons of cheese.
  6. Use a spatula to gently fold the tortilla in half, holding the top half closed for a few seconds to melt the top layer of cheese. Cook for another 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown. Decrease the heat if your tortillas are browning too quickly.

Notes

Other filling options include Crispy Pork Tenderloin Carnitas, the filling from Cheesy Beef Baked Tacos, or Shredded Buffalo Chicken. Each quesadilla has 7 WW SmartPoints on the blue plan.
