Directions

Step 1 -In a large skillet over medium heat, add the bacon and cook until crisp.

Step 7 -Top each of the cheese-covered tortillas with 1/4 of the egg mixture.

Step 8 -Evenly divide the remaining shredded cheese across the egg mixture-topped tortillas, then top with the remaining tortillas.

Step 10 -Carefully flip the quesadillas and cook, about 1-2 minutes.
