  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
  • 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing or ranch sauce
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or Mexican blend cheese)
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter for cooking
  • Optional toppings: diced tomatoes, chopped green onions, sour cream, sliced jalapeños

Instructions

  1. Spread ranch dressing evenly over one side of a flour tortilla. Layer half of the shredded chicken, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheese on one half of the tortilla. Fold the tortilla in half to enclose the fillings.
  2. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a little olive oil or butter. Carefully place the assembled quesadilla in the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and the cheese has melted. Use a spatula to gently press the quesadilla for even cooking.
  3. Transfer the cooked quesadilla to a cutting board and let it rest for a minute. Slice into wedges and serve hot with optional toppings like diced tomatoes, chopped green onions, or sour cream.

Notes

  • Ensure your cooked chicken is shredded or diced for easy assembly.
  • Cook bacon until crispy and crumble before adding.
  • You can customize fillings with your favorite ingredients or toppings.
  • Reheat leftovers in a skillet to maintain crispiness.
