1/2 teaspoon of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce

Preheat a medium skillet to medium high heat and add the teaspoon of oil, onions, and chipotle sauce and cook the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees. This will take 8 - 10 minutes. Tip: This sauce is spicy so only add a small amount if you do not like spice.

Wipe the skillet clean and place on medium so that you can heat up the tortillas in the same skillet.

While the chicken is cooking, cook the bacon until it reaches the crispness you enjoy. Remove from the skillet and drain it on some paper towels.

Place the tortilla on a flat surface and only fill it so that you can fold each one in half. Place a layer of cheese, then add the chicken, onions and bacon, ranch dressing and then add another layer of cheese and fold the tortilla in half.

Take a small amount of butter or oil and rub it on the tortilla and place it buttered side down in a skillet and heat until the tortilla is golden brown. While the tortilla is heating up go ahead and add some butter or oil to the other side.

Remove from the pan and repeat this process until all the quesadillas have been cooked. Enjoy!

Note: You can use bacon bits instead of the bacon slices if that is what you prefer.

I like to slice mine into four slices and serve with a side of salsa and some extra ranch dressing on the side.
