Name: Chicken Quesadilla with Bacon
Yield: 4
Ingredients: 8 slice bacon; 1 lb. chicken tenders; 1 tsp. Coarse salt; 1/2 tsp. Black pepper; 1 firm, ripe avocado; 1 tbsp. fresh lime juice; 4 tomatoes; 1/2 c. shredded Swiss cheese; 1/2 c. shredded Cheddar cheese; 8 flour tortillas; Accompaniments: salsa and low-fat sour cream

Step 1In a large nonstick skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp, 5 to 6 minutes; drain on paper towels. Break pieces in half.

Step 2Meanwhile, heat a nonstick pan over medium heat. Spray with cooking spray. Season chicken on both sides with salt and pepper. Cook 4 minutes per side or until cooked through. Remove from heat; cut chicken into strips.

Step 3Halve avocado and remove pit. Cut flesh into thin slices, then scoop out of peel with a spoon. Drizzle lime juice over avocado slices.

Step 4Top 4 of the tortillas with chicken, bacon, avocado, tomatoes, and cheese, dividing evenly. Place remaining tortillas on top.

Step 5Place 1 quesadilla in a skillet over medium heat, pressing down occasionally until browned on one side, 3 to 4 minutes. Carefully flip and cook second side until tortilla is browned and cheese is melted. Keep warm while you repeat with the remaining quesadillas. Cut each into wedges; serve with salsa and sour cream.
