Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works great!)
- 1 cup cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing
- 1 tablespoon butter, for greasing the pan
- Optional: sliced green onions for garnish
Feel free to make substitutions based on what you have on hand. No mozzarella? Swap it for Monterey Jack or even a pepper jack for a bit of spice. For a healthier twist, you could use whole wheat tortillas or even add some fresh spinach for extra greens.
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt the butter. This will ensure your tortillas get that perfect golden crunch.
- On one half of each tortilla, spread a generous layer of ranch dressing. Top with a portion of shredded chicken, crumbled bacon, and both types of cheese.
- Fold the tortilla in half to sandwich the filling. Press gently to help them stick together.
- Place the quesadilla in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until the cheese is melted and the tortillas are crisp and golden brown. I recommend doing this in batches if needed.
- Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
- Once cooked, transfer the quesadillas to a cutting board and let them cool for a minute. Slice into wedges and serve immediately, optionally garnished with sliced green onions.
Here’s a tip from my kitchen: if you’re making multiple quesadillas, keep the cooked ones warm in an oven set to 200°F while you finish up the rest. It’s a trick I picked up when cooking for family gatherings, ensuring everyone gets a hot, delicious meal.
