Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (use rotisserie for convenience)
- 4 slices crispy bacon, chopped
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or Mexican blend)
- ½ cup ranch dressing (homemade or store-bought)
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 tablespoon oil or butter for cooking
- Optional toppings: chopped green onions, diced tomatoes, jalapeños
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, chopped bacon, ranch dressing, and half of the shredded cheese. Stir until well mixed.
- Lay a flour tortilla flat. Spread about ¼ of the mixture on one half of the tortilla. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Fold the tortilla over to form a half-moon shape.
- Heat oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Place the folded quesadilla in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and cheese is melted.
- Repeat with remaining tortillas. Serve hot with your favorite toppings and sides.
Notes
- Use freshly shredded cheese for better melting.
- Avoid overfilling tortillas to ensure even cooking.
- Add jalapeños or tomatoes for extra flavor.
- Cook in a hot skillet until edges are crispy for the perfect finish.
