Instructions
Making The BEST Buffalo Chicken Quesadillas is a breeze if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare Chicken: In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked, shredded chicken with the Buffalo sauce. Mix until the chicken is evenly coated.
2. Heat a Skillet: Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
3. Assemble Quesadillas: Lay one tortilla flat in the skillet. On one half of the tortilla, sprinkle a layer of shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese, followed by a generous portion of the Buffalo chicken mixture. If desired, add diced green onions for extra flavor.
4. Fold and Cook: Fold the other half of the tortilla over the filling. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until the bottom is golden brown and the cheese is starting to melt.
5. Flip and Finish: Carefully flip the quesadilla using a spatula. Add the remaining olive oil to the skillet, cooking for another 3-4 minutes until the other side is golden and crispy.
6. Slice and Serve: Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it cool slightly. Slice into wedges using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
7. Repeat: Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling mixture.
8. Serve: Serve the quesadillas hot with sour cream and additional Buffalo sauce for dipping.
