Ingredients
4 tablespoons Honey mustard
8 (10-inch) flour tortillas
2 cups Diced cooked chicken
1/4 cup Cooked bacon, crumbled
2 tablespoons Diced dill pickles
1 cup Shredded Swiss cheese
2 tablespoons Butter, divided usage
Preparation
Prepare Sunset Salsa (recipe below); reserve.
Spread 1 tablespoon of honey mustard over 4 of the tortillas to within an inch of the edges. Divide the chicken, bacon, dill pickles and Swiss cheese evenly over the honey mustard on the 4 tortillas. Top with the remaining 4 tortillas to form quesadillas.
Place a large heavy skillet over medium heat until hot; add 1/2 tablespoon butter, distributing evenly over the bottom of the pan until it starts to bubble. Add 1 quesadilla to skillet. Cook for about 2 minutes on each side, or until the cheese melts and the tortilla is crisp. Repeat with the remaining butter and quesadillas, keeping the cooked quesadillas warm in a 250 degree oven until all are cooked. Cut each quesadilla into 6 wedges. Place on a platter with Sunset Salsa and serve while warm. Makes about 4 servings.
