  • 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
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
  • Optional garnishes: chopped green onions, sour cream, salsa

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, crumbled bacon, and ranch dressing. Mix until well coated.
  2. Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread about half of the chicken and bacon mixture evenly over one half of the tortilla. Top with shredded cheddar cheese.
  3. Fold the tortilla over to enclose the filling.
  4. Heat a skillet over medium heat with olive oil or butter. Carefully transfer the assembled quesadilla to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cheese melts.
  5. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
  6. Slice into wedges and serve hot, garnished with green onions if desired. Enjoy with sides like salsa or sour cream.

Notes

  • Use pre-cooked chicken and bacon for quicker preparation.
  • For a crispy exterior, reheat leftover quesadillas in an air fryer.
  • Customize with additional toppings like diced tomatoes or jalapenos.
