- 8 flour tortilla 6 inch
- Non-stick cooking spray or Canola oil
Gala Apple Salsa:

Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat 3 to 4 minutes. Slowly brown bacon for 10 minutes to medium doneness. Drain bacon on paper towel. Tear or cut bacon into 1-inch pieces.
- Shred cheese and set aside. Split poblano pepper and discard seeds and stem. Chop pepper finely.
- Place 1/3 cup chopped poblano in a small glass bowl. Add salsa ingredients; stir to blend. Set aside.
- Sprinkle ¼ cup shredded cheese over each of 4 tortillas. Distribute approximately 2 tablespoons chopped poblano and one-fourth of bacon pieces over cheese on each tortilla. Sprinkle ¼ cup cheese over bacon and cover with remaining 4 tortillas.

Heat 2 to 3 minutes, until cheese just begins to melt and bottom of tortilla is lightly toasted. Carefully turn quesadillas with a spatula. Heat second side 2 to 3 minutes.
