This recipe, from Redbook magazine, was some of the best quesadillas I have ever made. They were filled with avocado and tomato!

1 lb boneless skinless chicken tenders

salt and pepper to taste

1 firm ripe avocado, peeled, pitted and sliced

1 T fresh lime juice

1 tomato, chopped

1 small onion, chopped

10 (10-inch) flour tortillas

1 lb shredded cheese (I used four cheese Mexican blend)

8 slices bacon, chopped and fried crisp

your favorite salsa

Sprinkle chicken tenders liberally with salt and pepper. Sprinkle avocado and tomato with lime juice; set aside.

Heat a large frying pan over medium heat and saute chicken til almost done. Add onion and continue cooking til onion is tender. Crumble bacon into chicken mixture and stir.

Layer ½ of each tortilla with chicken mixture; top with tomato, avocado and cheese. Fold tortillas in half and place on a large baking sheet. Bake at 350 for about 10 minutes or til cheese is melted.

Cut into wedges and serve with salsa and sour cream.

OMG...you never stop!

A fabulous meal you made. We had grilled fish and creamy yukons with steamed aparagus. A UK meal we really enjoyed!

Oh wow, this certainly sounds good. It sure beats the peanut butter and jelly sandwich that I just ate. (I live alone so I'm allowed, LOL!)

Oh man, I got to get me some chicken and bacon and make these...I could use corn tortillas or gluten-free wraps...my mouth is watering!

We went to a Thai restaurant; I had the seafood combo--fabulous!

Corn tortillas would be awesome!

And I just love Thai! I am SO jealous!

There's a chain of restaurants called cheddars... and they make a chicken quesadillas like this with cheddar cheese with bacon. I love them so much with all the fixings.. sour cream guacamole, etc.
But I try to not go there because they are very bad for me.

I used to go to Cheddar's all the time! LOVED that place!

If you ever get a chance... the quesadillas are on the appetizer list... and oozing with cheese... and the bacon... wow...
