Ingredients
Scale
For the Buffalo Ranch Chicken:
- 2 cups cooked chicken (shredded)
- 1/3 cup buffalo sauce
- 2 tablespoons ranch dressing
For the Quesadillas:
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 green onions (sliced)
- 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
- Extra ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping
Instructions
- Prepare the Buffalo Ranch Chicken: In a bowl, toss the shredded chicken with buffalo sauce and ranch dressing until well coated.
- Cook the Quesadillas: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and lightly butter one side of each tortilla. Place one tortilla, buttered side down, in the skillet. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup cheddar cheese and 1/4 cup mozzarella, then spread a layer of buffalo ranch chicken on top. Add a few green onions, then sprinkle with more cheese before topping with another tortilla, buttered side up. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, pressing gently, until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese is melted. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
- Serve: Slice into wedges and serve warm with ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.
Notes
- For extra spice, drizzle with additional buffalo sauce before serving.
- You can also bake the quesadillas in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 10 minutes if cooking in batches.
