Notes
Add Veggies: if you'd like to add veggies to the mix, saute them after cooking the bacon. Veggies ideas include chopped onion, bell pepper, mushrooms, spinach.
Make ahead Instructions: Cook the bacon, tortillas (if using uncooked tortillas) and shred the cheese ahead of time.
Freezing Instructions: Cook the breakfast quesadillas and allow them to cool. Lay them on a baking sheet loosely covered with plastic wrap. Flash freeze them by putting the baking sheet in the freezer for 1 hour. Then transfer the quesadillas to a freezer safe bag and store for 2-3 months in the freezer. Thaw overnight in the fridge, then reheat at 350ºF for a few minutes until warmed through and cheese is melted.
Gluten-free Adaptations: use gluten-free tortillas.
