Description
These spicy, creamy, and crispy quesadillas are packed with shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, and melty cheese — perfect for quick dinners or game day gatherings.
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie recommended)
- 1/3 cup buffalo sauce
- 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 1/2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese (or cheddar/pepper jack)
- 4 medium flour tortillas
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp butter
- Ranch or blue cheese dressing (for dipping)
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix shredded chicken with buffalo sauce and cream cheese until well combined and creamy.
- On one half of each tortilla, layer shredded cheese, buffalo chicken mixture, green onions, and more cheese. Fold the tortilla over to close.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt a bit of butter. Cook each quesadilla 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cheese is melted.
- Let quesadillas rest 1 minute before slicing into wedges. Serve with ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.
Notes
- To reduce spice, add more cream cheese or use a mild buffalo sauce.
- Swap in your favorite melty cheese or add jalapeños for extra heat.
- For a healthier bake method, cook at 400°F in the oven until golden and crisp, flipping once.
