Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cup cooked chicken, shredded
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing
- 8 large flour tortillas
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken with buffalo sauce. Stir until the chicken is thoroughly coated.
- In a separate bowl, mix together cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, softened cream cheese, and chopped green onions.
- Take a tortilla and spread a generous layer of the cheese mixture over one half. Then, add a scoop of the buffalo chicken mixture on top. Fold the tortilla in half so that the filling is enclosed.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Carefully place each quesadilla in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and the cheese has melted.
- Once cooked, slice each quesadilla into wedges and serve with ranch dressing on the side for dipping.
Notes
Consider serving with a fresh side salad or crunchy veggie sticks for balance. Pair with a refreshing beer or fruity mocktail.
