I made myself another yummy quesadilla for lunch this week. This time the filling was crispy bacon, cheddar cheese and delicious apples, drizzled with maple syrup. This would be a perfect lunch with a green salad and small bowl of soup. Simple, but filling, and very tasty! I absolutely loved it. I will be making this quesadilla again for sure, maybe in the fall when apples are season. Enjoy!

This is an amazing flavor combination. I had a crepe with this filling once in Montreal, drizzled with a little local maple syrup. AMAZING!
Joanne
Does everything taste better with bacon? Yes. Yes it does. And even more so with maple syrup. Love this idea!
Karen
The flavors sound just great together in this quesadilla. We eat them a lot with tomato soup - or any soup that doesn't have a lot of substance.

I thought this site was for Colombian Recipes. This is why americans think that all hispanics are mexicans.
Erica Dinho
