Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Mixture
- 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
- 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce
- 1/4 cup ranch dressing
- 1/8 cup cilantro, chopped (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
- 2 cups (8 ounces) shredded Mexican cheese blend
Quesadillas
- 4 flour tortillas (10 inches)
- 2 teaspoons canola oil (or olive oil for greasing pan)
Dip
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- Additional cilantro for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the shredded rotisserie chicken, buffalo wing sauce, ranch dressing, shredded Mexican cheese blend, salt, pepper, and chopped cilantro. Toss well to evenly coat all ingredients.
- Cook the Quesadillas: Heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with canola or olive oil. Place one flour tortilla on the skillet, then spread about one-quarter of the chicken mixture evenly over half of the tortilla. Fold the tortilla in half to enclose the filling. Cook for 2 minutes until the bottom is golden brown, then carefully flip and cook the other side for another 2 minutes. Remove from skillet and repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
- Prepare the Dip: In a small bowl, mix the sour cream with a bit of chopped cilantro for garnish (optional). This creamy dip complements the spicy buffalo flavors perfectly.
- Serve: Cut each quesadilla into four slices to make 16 portions total. Serve warm with the prepared sour cream dip and enjoy!
Notes
- For extra crispiness, press the quesadilla gently with a spatula while cooking.
- You can substitute ranch dressing with blue cheese dressing for a classic buffalo flavor.
- Adjust the amount of buffalo sauce according to your preferred spice level.
- Using rotisserie chicken saves time but shredded cooked chicken breast can also be used.
- Serve immediately for best texture and flavor, as quesadillas can become soggy when left to sit.
