  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
  • Optional: chopped green onions, jalapeños, or tomatoes for garnish

Instructions

  1. Start by combining the shredded chicken, crumbled bacon, and ranch dressing in a bowl. Mix until evenly coated.
  2. Spread a generous portion of the mixture onto half of a flour tortilla. Sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese, then fold the tortilla over to enclose the filling. Repeat for remaining tortillas.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add olive oil or butter. Place the filled quesadilla in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy and the cheese is melted.
  4. Remove from heat, let rest for a minute, then slice into wedges. Garnish with green onions, jalapeños, or tomatoes as desired. Serve hot with extra ranch or salsa.

Notes

  • Make sure to cook the bacon thoroughly for maximum crunch.
  • Feel free to customize with different cheeses or add extra vegetables for health benefits.
  • To keep the quesadilla crispy, avoid overfilling and cook on moderate heat.
