Wash and dry produce. Halve, peel, and thinly slice @red onion{1%unit}; mince a few slices until you have 2 tbsp. Dice @tomato{2%unit}. Roughly chop @cilantro{1%bunch}. Quarter @lime{1%unit}. Core, deseed, and dice @long green pepper{1%unit}.

In a small bowl, combine minced onion, half the tomatoes, half the cilantro, and juice from half the lime. Season with salt and pepper. In a separate small bowl, combine half the @sour cream{½%cup} with ¼ tsp @Southwest Spice Blend{1%tbsp}. Season with salt and pepper. Add water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency.

Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a #large pan{} over medium-high heat. Add sliced onion, green pepper, @bacon{4%strips}, and a big pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and tender ~{7%minutes}. Stir in remaining tomatoes, remaining Southwest Spice Blend, and 2 tbsp water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes are softened and mixture is thickened and saucy. If mixture seems dry, add up to 2 tbsp more water. Remove pan from heat; stir in remaining cilantro and remaining sour cream. Season with salt and pepper.

Place @flour tortillas{4%unit} on a clean work surface; sprinkle one half of each tortilla with @mexican cheese blend{1%cup}. Top with veggie filling, then sprinkle with @pepper jack cheese{½%cup}. Fold tortillas in half to create quesadillas.

Wash out pan used for veggie filling; return to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Add quesadillas and cook until tortillas are golden brown and cheese melts ~{2%minutes} per side. Depending on the size of your pan, you may need to work in batches.

Cut quesadillas into wedges; divide between plates and top with @guacamole{½%cup} and salsa. Drizzle with crema. Serve with remaining lime wedges on the side.
