I love spinach and artichoke dip!

Blue Ribbon Recipe

This spinach and artichoke quesadilla with bacon is a cheesy and savory delight. The quesadilla is filled with creamy homemade spinach and artichoke dip that's made with two types of cheese. Parmesan cheese adds a nutty and salty flavor, while pepper jack cheese gives the quesadilla a spicy kick. We love the smoky flavor and crunch bacon adds. These spinach and artichoke quesadillas are easy to make with simple ingredients and minimal prep time. Brandy suggests warming the assembled quesadilla in the microwave. If you want a crispy tortilla, pan-fry them in a skillet with a pat or two of butter. We made ours both ways, and they both turned out delicious.
