'Dillas'


Bacon-Jalapeno Quesadillas
"Mad Hungry" host Lucinda Scala Quinn developed this easy recipe exclusively for "The Martha Stewart Show" season premiere, with input from her bacon-loving sons.

Ingredients
Makes 4.

Olive oil or nonstick cooking spray
8 (8-inch) flour tortillas
2 cups shredded Monterey jack cheese
1 (12- to 16-ounce) package thinly sliced bacon, cooked and crumbled
1/4 cup pickled jalapenos, finely chopped
Sour cream, for serving

Directions
1.Lightly coat a medium skillet with olive oil or nonstick cooking spray and heat over high heat. Place 1 tortilla on a work surface and sprinkle with 1/4 cup cheese. Top with 1/4 of the bacon and 1 tablespoon jalapenos; top with a second tortilla.

2.Carefully transfer to skillet and cook until bottom tortilla is browned and cheese is melted, about 2 minutes. Turn and continue cooking until browned and filling is hot, about 2 minutes more. Transfer quesadilla to a cutting board and repeat process with remaining tortilla, cheese, bacon, and jalapenos.

3.Cut quesadillas into wedges and serve immediately with sour cream.
