Ingredients
2 cups cooked shredded chicken
1/3 cup buffalo sauce
2 tablespoons softened cream cheese
2 tablespoons ranch dressing
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons sliced green onions
4 large flour tortillas
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup ranch or blue cheese dressing for serving
Instructions
1. Add the shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, softened cream cheese, ranch dressing, garlic powder, black pepper, and green onions to a bowl.
2. Stir until the chicken is evenly coated and the filling is creamy.
3. Lay the tortillas on a clean surface and sprinkle cheese over half of each tortilla.
4. Spoon the buffalo chicken filling over the cheese, leaving a small border around the edges.
5. Add another sprinkle of cheese over the chicken filling.
6. Fold each tortilla in half and press gently.
7. Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt a little butter.
8. Cook each quesadilla for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until golden, crisp, and fully melted inside.
9. Let the quesadillas rest for 1 to 2 minutes before slicing.
10. Serve warm with ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, or extra buffalo sauce.
Notes
Use rotisserie chicken to make this Buffalo Chicken Quesadilla even faster.
Do not overfill the tortillas, or the filling may spill out when flipping.
Cook over medium heat so the tortilla crisps slowly while the cheese melts fully.
