Description
Crispy, golden quesadillas filled with shredded chicken, smoky bacon, melted cheese, and creamy ranch. A quick and satisfying family dinner ready in under 20 minutes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
- 6 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup ranch dressing (plus extra for dipping)
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 tablespoon butter or oil, for cooking
- Optional garnish: chopped green onions or parsley
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine chicken, bacon, cheddar, mozzarella, and ranch dressing. Mix until evenly coated.
- Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add butter or oil and let it melt to coat the pan.
- Place one tortilla on the skillet and spread half of the chicken mixture evenly over it, leaving a ½-inch border.
- Top with a second tortilla and press gently.
- Cook for 2–3 minutes on each side or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
- Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
- Slice into wedges and serve hot with extra ranch dressing on the side.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken for quick prep.
- Room-temperature cream cheese blends better if substituting for ranch.
- Don’t overfill to prevent sogginess.
- Cook over medium heat to avoid burning the tortillas.
- Great for freezing and reheating later.
