Description

Get ready to indulge in a mouthwatering fusion of sweet, spicy, and savory flavors with these irresistible Hot Honey BBQ Chicken Quesadillas. This easy-to-make dish combines juicy shredded chicken, a tantalizing BBQ sauce, and a drizzle of hot honey for a truly crave-worthy experience.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded
  • ½ cup BBQ sauce (plus extra for drizzling)
  • 2 tablespoon hot honey (plus extra for drizzling)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ¼ cup red onion, finely chopped
  • ¼ cup bell pepper, finely chopped
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
  • Optional: fresh cilantro, sour cream for serving

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken with ½ cup of BBQ sauce and 2 tablespoon of hot honey. Mix the ingredients together until the chicken is evenly coated.
  2. Heat the olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the red onion and bell pepper for 2-3 minutes, or until they’re softened. Add the sautéed vegetables to the chicken mixture and stir to combine.
  3. Lay a flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Sprinkle the cheddar cheese on one half of the tortilla. Top the cheese with the hot honey BBQ chicken mixture, spreading it evenly. Drizzle additional BBQ sauce and hot honey over the chicken. Finally, sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the top. Fold the tortilla in half to create a half-moon shape.
  4. Heat a clean skillet over medium heat. Carefully place the assembled quesadilla in the hot skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and fillings.
  5. Once your Hot Honey BBQ Chicken Quesadillas are perfectly cooked, cut them into wedges and serve them hot. Offer sour cream and fresh cilantro as optional garnishes to enhance the flavors even further.

Notes

For added heat, consider incorporating diced jalapeños or serrano peppers into the chicken mixture. Alternatively, add hot sauce or cayenne pepper to the BBQ sauce before combining it with the chicken.
