Description

A delicious and gooey quesadilla filled with creamy macaroni and cheese, crispy bacon, and drizzled with ranch dressing. Perfect for a savory snack or meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked macaroni and cheese
  • 6 strips crispy bacon, chopped
  • 3 tbsp ranch dressing
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine your cooked mac and cheese with the chopped crispy bacon and ranch dressing. Mix everything together until well combined.
  2. Lay a flour tortilla flat on your work surface. Spread a generous portion of the mac and cheese mixture on one half of the tortilla.
  3. Sprinkle the cheddar and mozzarella cheese over the filling, then fold the empty half over to create a half-moon shape.
  4. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil.
  5. Place your quesadilla in the hot pan and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy.
  6. Remove the quesadilla from heat and let it cool for just a minute, then slice into wedges.
  7. Sprinkle with chopped green onions and serve immediately while it’s still hot.

Notes

  • For a spicier option, add jalapeños to the filling.
  • Serve with additional ranch dressing or salsa on the side.
