The combination of flavors in these Bacon Cheddar Jalapeño Quesadillas really can’t be beat. It’s like the trifecta of sports bar food, amiright? Except when you order it from a sports bar, it’s not likely to be too healthy. This is a much healthier quesadilla, without sacrificing flavor. We like serving these with our Instant Pot Black Bean Soup.

Ingredients
- 8 each 100% whole grain soft flour tortilla
- 4 Tbsp butter
- 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese grated
- 1 each jalapeno
