This quick and easy recipe delivers a perfect balance of creamy, crunchy, and aromatic flavors, making it an irresistible snack or meal for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

Tortillas

  • 8 flour or corn tortillas

Cheese Mixture

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Bacon and Garlic

  • 6 slices bacon
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

Butter and Garnishes

  • 3 tablespoons melted butter
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • Fresh parsley or cilantro, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Bacon and Garlic: Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, then remove and drain on paper towels. In the same pan, sauté minced garlic briefly in the bacon fat until fragrant to deepen its flavor.
  2. Assemble the Tortillas: Lay each tortilla flat and brush with melted butter mixed with the sautéed garlic. Sprinkle an even layer of shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese over half of each tortilla, followed by crumbled bacon and chopped green onions.
  3. Fold and Cook: Fold tortillas in half, pressing gently. Place them in a hot skillet over medium heat and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until the cheese melts and tortillas turn golden brown and crispy.
  4. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat, let cool slightly, then garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro if desired. Slice into wedges and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use fresh garlic and good-quality cheese for best flavor.
  • Don’t overload with fillings to avoid soggy or hard-to-flip tortillas.
  • Cook on medium heat so cheese melts perfectly without burning tortillas.
  • Drain bacon well to keep tortillas crispy.
  • Brush butter on the outside of tortillas for a golden, crispy crust.
  • Can substitute bacon with sautéed mushrooms or tempeh for vegetarian option.
  • Add jalapeños or cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.
  • Use gluten-free tortillas to accommodate gluten-free diets.
