Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups fully cooked chicken, shredded
  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
  • 2 cups Monterrey Jack cheese, shredded
  • 4 large flour tortillas

Serving Suggestions

  • Ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing for dipping
  • Celery sticks or carrots as a side

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, buffalo sauce, and shredded Monterrey Jack cheese. Mix thoroughly to ensure the chicken is evenly coated with buffalo sauce and cheese is well distributed.
  2. Assemble the quesadillas: Divide the buffalo chicken mixture evenly among the four flour tortillas. Spread the mixture on one half of each tortilla, then fold each tortilla over to create a half-circle shape, enclosing the filling securely.
  3. Cook the quesadillas: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Place one quesadilla in the skillet and cook for several minutes on each side until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese inside has melted completely. Repeat with remaining quesadillas.
  4. Serve and enjoy: Remove the quesadillas from the skillet and cut each into four triangular pieces. Serve warm with your choice of ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping, accompanied by celery sticks or carrot sticks for a refreshing crunch.

Notes

  • Use fully cooked chicken for ease and speed—rotisserie chicken works great.
  • Adjust the amount of buffalo sauce to control the spice level according to your preference.
  • Freshly shredded cheese melts better than pre-shredded varieties due to less anti-caking agents.
  • Cooking on medium heat ensures the quesadilla crisps up nicely without burning before the cheese melts.
  • For gluten-free option, substitute flour tortillas with gluten-free tortillas.
