ingredients

4 medium flour tortillas
1 lb chicken, cut into little bite-sized pieces
¹⁄₂ cup scallion, diced
8 slices bacon
1 avocado, diced
¹⁄₂ cup mild cheddar cheese, shredded
2 tablespoons butter
salt & pepper

directions

Fry bacon in a pan until crisp. Remove, cool and crumble but be sure to save 1/2 Tbsp drippings.
Add 1/2 tbsp of the bacon drippings to a skillet over medium heat and add the scallions and saute about 2-3 mins until softened.
Add the chicken in a single layer and season with salt and pepper.
Cook for about 5 mins or until chicken is golden and cooked through.
Remove the chicken and scallions to a plate and rinse out the skillet.
In the clean skillet, add 1/2 tbsp butter and put over medium heat.
When the butter is bubbly, add a tortilla and swirl it around to get it buttery.
Layer one side of the tortilla with chicken, bacon, avocado, and a little cheese.
Use tongs or a spatula to flip the other half of the tortilla over and press down.
Cook the tortilla for about 1-2 mins on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
Repeat with the rest of the tortillas, adding a little more butter for each tortilla as needed.

The most defining trait in my life is that I am a mother to two wonderful boys (Tyler, 20 and Zayden, 9). I live in the little college town of Selinsgrove, Pennsylvania. It is the most wonderful place to live as it's nestled in the Appalachian Mountains and along the beautiful Susquehanna River. Seeing that we live in Central Pennsylvania, our family is also a bunch of HARDCORE Penn State Nittany Lion fans! We are...PENN STATE! I was lucky enough to be given tickets to see Joe Paterno win his 400th game as the head coach of the football team. I cried like I did when my children were born. The other love of my life is cooking. I didn't really start trying to cook until I was 20, but believe me I have made up for lost time! I absolutely adore baking and I do it whenever I can. I love making Christmas cookies and I have begun hosting our extended families at our home for Thanksgiving and Easter dinners. So far so good. I love food.com because it allows me to expand my culinary skills and my recipe box with ideas from other people like me. There is something for everyone and I have been a loyal member since 2005. I hope you enjoy my recipes and if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
