Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 2 cups fully cooked chicken, shredded
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
- 2 cups Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
Tortillas
- 4 large flour tortillas
Instructions
- Mix the filling: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, and shredded Monterey Jack cheese thoroughly to ensure the chicken is evenly coated with the sauce and cheese is incorporated.
- Assemble the quesadillas: Divide the chicken mixture evenly among the 4 tortillas, spreading it out on one half of each tortilla. Fold the tortilla over to form a half-circle shape, encasing the filling securely.
- Cook the quesadillas: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Place one quesadilla at a time into the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese inside has melted completely. Repeat with all quesadillas.
- Serve: Remove from the skillet and cut each quesadilla into four triangular wedges. Serve warm with ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping, accompanied by celery sticks or carrot sticks for a classic buffalo-style meal.
Notes
- Use cooked chicken such as rotisserie or leftover chicken for convenience.
- Adjust buffalo sauce quantity based on desired spice level.
- For a crispier quesadilla, press down gently with a spatula while cooking.
- Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
- Substitute flour tortillas with corn tortillas for a gluten-free option if desired.
