Cooking adventures in a small, closet sized, kitchen. - I came to realize that my meals were boring and that I had been eating the same few dishes over and over again for years. It was time for a change! I now spend my free time searching for, creating and trying tasty new recipes in my closet sized kitchen.

BBQ Chicken, Apple, Bacon and Cheddar Quesadillas

[heart_this] · Oct 25, 2013 · 16 Comments

BBQ Chicken, Apple, Bacon and Cheddar Quesadillas

Quesadillas with BBQ chicken, fresh apple slices, bacon and plenty of melted cheddar cheese.

After making the apple, bacon and cheddar sticky buns earlier this week the flavour combination has been on my mind and I could not resist using it again, this time in some quesadillas. Even with the apple, bacon and cheddar the quesadillas felt like they still needed something and BBQ chicken was the perfect solution, adding a sweet heat along with a hint of smokiness. There is just something magical about this combination of sweet juicy apples, melted cheddar cheese, smoky bacon and spicy BBQ chicken and I will definitely be enjoying a few more of these quesadillas over the next few weeks this fall!

That caramelized cheese that drips out of the quesadillas is one of the best parts!

    Can't wait to try this version of your quesadillas, Kevin! Some grade 10 students and I made your Lime Fajita Quesadillas this week, and they were SO good! No time for a photo – they were gone so fast!
