1/2 cup cooked shredded chicken or turkey bacon bits
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon sour cream for the garnish
1 small bunch of fresh cilantro for extra greenery
Instructions
Start by taking your spinach tortillas and cutting them into large triangles. I usually stack them and cut them like a pizza to get uniform shapes that resemble the silhouette of a pine tree. If you want a more detailed look, you can cut small notches into the sides of the triangles to mimic the look of branches.
Place one tortilla triangle on a flat surface and sprinkle a generous layer of shredded cheese over the top. Add your protein like shredded chicken or crispy turkey bacon at this stage. Place another tortilla triangle on top to create a sandwich, making sure the edges align well so the cheese stays tucked inside.
Melt a small amount of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Carefully place the quesadilla triangles into the pan and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side. You want the cheese to be completely melted and the tortilla to be slightly crisp, though be careful not to brown the green tortillas too much so they keep their festive look.
Once cooked, move the quesadillas to a serving board. Use the diced red and yellow bell peppers as ornaments by pressing them gently into any melted cheese peeking out from the sides, or use a tiny dot of sour cream to stick them to the top of the tortilla. You can also pipe a string of sour cream across the tree to act as a decorative garland.
