Bacon Quesadillas

Take about 8 strips of bacon and cook them little darlings till they are like charcoal (hence the Italian “carbonaira”… but that is another dish for another day)… let cool and mush them up in a bowl. It should be like bacon bits… only real and your kitchen smells better.

THEN…

1 cup or as much corn as you like… to show off peel it off the cob… (guests feel special)
2 Avacados… soft but not brown… got to be mushable
1 red onion… chop up as much as you need but make it tiny
As much FRESH lime as you like…
1 tablespoon ground cumin… don’t overdo this…
Chop up a bunch of coriander nice and fine like…
Zip in a blast or three of hot sauce…
Salt if you are inclined…
Now I like mixing in a bunch of cheese… cheddar, jack and such… but you need not… be heart smart
Whip it all up in a big bowl…
Add the bacon… oops not that heart smart is it?



While all this is happenin'… heat a frying pan… medium heat…



Once all is mixed to YOUR satisfaction spoon the mixture thinly on half of a tortilla (quesadilla wrap)… fold over and cook two at a time in the bid old pan… (now nicely greased… I like olive oil)

Eat with tomatillo salsa… crisp white wine… whatever makes you happy… VERY cold beer is delightful too.



Once you have followed these exacting directions YOU MUST experiment to make it your own and remember to footnote: Thanks Mike!
