Bacon Chard Quesadillas

Regular Staple of My Repertoire I've been making this regularly for a couple of years now. I cook for one and everything I make regularly has to work well for leftovers and be able to be reheated well with just a microwave at work. I also appreciate the meals cook up in one pan as I have a tiny kitchen and no dishwasher. I've adapted a little over time for my single person needs and thought I'd share: 1. Cook the bacon in a large non stick skillet. While it's cooking, chop the onion and chard and put them aside in a bowl, and rinse the beans. 2. Remove the bacon from the pan and press with paper towels. You can drain some of the grease but be sure to leave a little for sauteing the onions. 3. Add onions and saute briefly. When they are starting to warm up add the beans. Stir a little and if desired do the coarsely mashing thing with the spoon. I don't usually bother - it's not necessary.

When reheating, reheat the beans mixture and

What a quick hit. These were a hit. They are quick to make and easy. I have made them twice. The second time I splashed in some Franks' hot sauce to give a little more kick. They make a great Saturday quick lunch. Pros: Quick, nutricious, and little mess Cons: Can't think of any

They were very flavorful, mostly due to the bacon. I will be making them again. Even my picky boyfriend liked them. Pros: Easy to make, yummy, lots of veggies Cons: None
