Ingredients For "mexajun" quesadillas

    flour tortillas
  • cajun seasoning (my husband likes "slap-ya-mamma" brand)

    cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 3 or 4 slice
    bacon, cooked, crumbled (or about 4 tbsp bacon bits)

  • salsa (optional)
  • sour cream (optional)

How To Make "mexajun" quesadillas

  • 1
    Heat medium sized skillet over medium temperature.

    Brush one side of each tortilla with oil.
