Bacon Blue Cheese and Spinach Quesadillas

Side note... every time I think of quesadillas, I think of Napolean Dynamite... I won't explain the reference... if you've seen the movie, I'm sure you know it but also know that I have been known to actually forget the correct way to pronounce the word and have ordered quesadillas in a restaurant the way Napolean would ;)

 

8 8 inch whole wheat tortillas
1/2 lb maple flavored bacon, chopped
2 c fresh spinach leaves
1 c shredded cheddar cheese
1 yellow or red onion, sliced thinly into half circles
2 oz blue cheese crumbles
EVOO cooking spray

Heat oven to 250 F and prepare a large cookie sheet with foil.  Cook bacon until crisp and drain on paper towel.  Reserve 1 tbsp. of excess bacon fat and cook onion slices until browned.  Drain with bacon.  On 4 tortilla shells, sprinkle cheddar cheese, spinach, cooked onion and bacon, blue cheese crumbles and additional cheese.  Top with remaining tortilla.  Heat large skillet over medium heat and spray with EVOO spray.  Cook each tortilla on each side for 3-5 minutes until lightly browned and cheese melted.  Place in oven to keep warm while you cook remaining tortillas. 

We had this with a spinach salad and parmesan sweet potato fries!
