Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 1/3 cup buffalo wing sauce
- 2 tablespoons ranch or blue cheese dressing
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil for cooking
- Optional: chopped green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare Chicken Mixture: In a medium bowl, thoroughly mix the shredded chicken with the buffalo wing sauce and ranch or blue cheese dressing until the chicken is evenly coated for maximum flavor.
- Assemble Quesadillas: Lay out the tortillas on a flat surface. Evenly sprinkle shredded cheese on one half of each tortilla. Spoon the buffalo chicken mixture over the cheese, then fold the tortillas in half to seal the filling inside.
- Heat Skillet: Warm the butter or olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, ensuring it is hot enough to crisp the tortillas without burning them.
- Cook Quesadillas: Place each folded quesadilla in the skillet and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, or until the tortillas turn golden brown and the cheese inside melts completely.
- Serve: Remove the quesadillas from the skillet and let them cool slightly. Slice into wedges, garnish with chopped green onions if desired, and serve with additional ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken for quick and easy preparation.
- For extra flavor, add cooked bacon bits or diced celery inside the quesadilla.
- This dish is great for lunch, game day gatherings, or quick family dinners.
