Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella or Monterey Jack cheese
- 1/4 cup ranch or blue cheese dressing
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- Optional: sliced green onions jalapeños, or crumbled blue cheese
Instructions
- 1. In a medium bowl, mix shredded chicken with buffalo wing sauce until evenly coated. Warm slightly if needed.
- 2. Lay out a tortilla. On one half, sprinkle cheese, add buffalo chicken mixture, drizzle dressing, then add more cheese.
- 3. Fold tortilla over to form a half-circle. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
- 4. Heat butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook each quesadilla 3–4 minutes per side until golden and crisp.
- 5. Let rest briefly before slicing into wedges. Garnish with optional toppings and serve hot.
Notes
Layer cheese on both sides of the filling to help the quesadilla stay sealed and crisp up beautifully.
Don’t overfill—less is more when it comes to evenly melting and flipping cleanly.
Use medium heat to avoid burning the tortilla before the cheese melts inside.
