Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat a large skillet over medium heat for about 3 minutes, brushing with a mixture of half vegetable oil and half bacon fat.
  2. Place two mini flour tortillas on a clean surface and sprinkle approximately 1/4 cup of shredded cheese evenly over each.
  3. On one tortilla, layer crumbled bacon bits and on the other, sprinkle chopped jalapeños. Press top tortilla on filled one.
  4. Place the assembled tortillas in the preheated skillet and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown.
  5. Flip the stacked quesadillas and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, pressing down gently with the spatula.
