Creating The BEST Buffalo Chicken Quesadillas is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Chicken: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with the Buffalo sauce. Stir until the chicken is well coated.
2. Heat a Pan: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
3. Assemble the Quesadilla: Place one tortilla in the pan. Spread half of the cheese evenly across the tortilla.
4. Add Chicken: Spoon half of the Buffalo chicken mixture onto the cheese, and then add more cheese on top.
5. Top and Cook: Place a second tortilla on top and press down gently. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
6. Flip it Over: Carefully flip the quesadilla to the other side, adding the remaining olive oil as needed. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and both sides are crisp.
7. Remove and Slice: Transfer the quesadilla to a cutting board. Let it cool for a minute before slicing into wedges.
8. Repeat: Repeat the process with the second set of tortillas and the remaining filling.
9. Garnish: Once the quesadillas are all cooked, sprinkle with diced celery and chopped green onions for an extra burst of flavor.
10. Serve: Enjoy immediately with sour cream or ranch dressing on the side for dipping.
By following these simple steps, you’ll create mouth-watering quesadillas that will amaze everyone.
