Outback Steakhouse Alice Springs Quesadillas

2 Tbsp. mayonnaise

1 Tbsp. Dijon mustard

2 tsp. honey

4 oz. chicken breast

2 tsp. butter plus 1/2 tsp. for the skillet (or use nonstick spray)

2 oz. baby portabella mushrooms sliced

1/2 tsp. garlic salt

1/4 tsp. parsley chopped

4 flour tortillas

3 oz. Colby jack cheese, shredded

4 slices bacon cooked crisp

Prepare the honey mustard by combining the mayonnaise, mustard, and honey in a small bowl. Mix well and set aside.

To grill the chicken breast, season it with salt and pepper. Heat a grill to 350 degrees. Brush chicken breast with vegetable oil and grill it for 4 to 5 minutes on each side or until chicken breast is fully done. If a grill is not available, use a skillet. Slice the chicken breast on the diagonal into short slices about 1/4 inch thick and set aside.Use nonstick spray or about ½ teaspoon butter to coat the surface of a skillet.

Saute the mushrooms, 2 teaspoons of butter, garlic salt, and parsley in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the mushrooms quickly until brown on the outside, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. Sprinkle half of each of the cheese, mushrooms, chicken, and bacon on a tortilla. Top with another tortilla and cook for 2 to 3 minutes in the skillet. Flip the quesadilla very carefully and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat with the remaining 2 tortillas. Use a pizza cutter to cut each quesadilla into quarters. Serve with honey mustard sauce or pico de gallo.

Place the coffee and milk in the blender first. Add the caramel syrup and then the ice. Blend until smooth. Drizzle caramel down the glass before pouring in the frappuccino. Top with whipped cream and caramel sauce.
