Jalapeno Popper Quesadillas
Jalapeno Popper Quesadillas combine the creamy, spicy kick of jalapeno poppers with the golden, crispy texture of quesadillas, making them a great option for snacking at parties, game nights, or even as part of a fun family dinner!
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- garlic powder
- 2 cups freshly grated sharp cheddar cheese
- 3 strips cooked bacon, crumbled or chopped
- 3 jalapenos, stem and seeds removed, chopped
- 8 (6-inch) tortillas
Instructions
- Mix the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, bacon, jalapeños, and garlic powder in a medium mixing bowl.
- Spread about a quarter of the cream cheese mixture onto four tortillas. Top each with another tortilla.
- Place the quesadilla into a large skillet over medium heat and cook until the tortilla is golden brown. Flip it over and cook until the bottom is browned. Repeat with remaining quesadillas.
- Place on a cutting board and cut into wedges.
Notes
Storage
- Store: You can store leftover jallapeno popper quesadillas in an airtight container or a resealable plastic bag in the fridge for up to 3 days. Place pieces of parchment paper between layers of quesadilla to keep them from sticking together.
- Freeze: To reheat quesadillas, place them back into a hot skillet, heating them over medium-high heat until both sides are crispy and the center is heated through. An air fryer would also work well, but try to avoid using the microwave, as this could cause the dish to become soggy.
