For an extra layer of flavor, try using smoked bacon. Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese, such as Monterey Jack or Pepper Jack, to adjust the spice level. If you don't have fresh cilantro, dried cilantro can be used, but fresh cilantro is recommended. To keep the quesadillas warm while you cook the others, place them on a baking sheet in a preheated 200°F (95°C) oven.

Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly golden, about 8-10 minutes. Add the diced bacon and brown sugar. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the bacon is crisp and the brown sugar has dissolved into a glossy glaze, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the bacon and onion mixture from the skillet and set aside.

Remove the cooked quesadilla from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to cool slightly.
