Number Of Ingredients 13

2 medium avocados, pitted, peeled and cubed
Juice of 1 medium lime
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
Dash ground red pepper (cayenne)
1/2 cup finely chopped onion (1 medium)
1 plum (Roma) tomato, diced
1/8 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1/2 lb bacon, diced into 1/2-inch pieces
1 package (11 oz) Old El Paso™ flour tortillas for burritos (8 tortillas)
1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese (6 oz)
2 to 3 teaspoons vegetable oil

Steps:

In medium bowl, roughly mash avocado with fork. Add remaining guacamole ingredients and mix together; set aside.
In 8-inch skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp; drain on paper towels.
Place 4 tortillas on work surface. Divide guacamole evenly among the 4 tortillas, spreading to within 1/2 inch of edges. Divide bacon evenly among the 4 tortillas. Divide cheese among the 4 tortillas. Top each with another tortilla.
In 10-inch skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of the oil over medium heat. Carefully transfer 1 of the quesadillas to skillet. Cook until browned, then turn over to brown second side.
Repeat with remaining quesadillas, adding more oil to skillet as needed.
Cut each quesadilla into wedges before serving.
