Ditch Bread for This Bomb BLT Quesadilla

By Katie Elliott at CU Boulder

Adding bacon to anything always makes it better. Combine your two favorites to create the ideal BLT quesadilla meal. Don’t hold back from putting as much cheese as you want. Drizzle it with a sour cream sauce and top it off with a tomato-lettuce mixture. Doesn’t get much better than that, am I right?
