Appetizers : Quesadillas, pizzas, & hot canapés Last Updated: Apr 26th, 2009 - 08:38:47 Bacon & Cheese Quesadillas By Sandra Woodruff  Printer friendly page Yield: 16 wedges 4 whole-wheat flour tortillas (8 to 10-inch rounds)* 2 slices extra-lean turkey or vegetarian bacon, cooked and finely crumbled 2 tablespoons finely chopped scallions 1 cup shredded reduced-fat Monterey Jack or Swiss cheese olive oil cooking spray TOPPINGS (optional) 1/3 cup nonfat or light sour cream 1/4 cup finely chopped seeded plum tomatoes 1. Lay a tortilla on a flat surface, and sprinkle the bottom half only with a-quarter of the bacon, scallions, and cheese. Fold the top half of the tortilla over to enclose the filling. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make 4 filled tortillas. 2. Coat a large griddle or nonstick skillet with nonstick cooking spray, and preheat over medium heat until a drop of water sizzles when it hits the heated surface. 3. Lay the quesadillas on the griddle and cook for about 1 1/2 minutes, or the bottoms are golden brown. Spray the tops lightly with the cooking spray, turn and cook for an additional 1 1/2 minutes, or until the second side is golden brown. 4. Transfer the quesadillas to a cutting board, cut each one into 4 wedges and serve hot. Serve with small dishes of the sour cream and tomatoes if desired.
