Ingredients

2 cups cooked shredded chicken

1/2 cup Buffalo wing sauce

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

4 large flour tortillas

2 tablespoons cream cheese

1 tablespoon ranch or blue cheese dressing

Butter or cooking spray

Fresh cilantro or green onions

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, mix shredded chicken with Buffalo wing sauce. Add cream cheese and ranch or blue cheese dressing, and stir until creamy.

2. On half of each tortilla, spread the chicken mixture. Sprinkle mozzarella and cheddar cheese evenly over the top. Fold tortilla over.

3. Heat a non-stick skillet or cast-iron pan over medium heat. Grease lightly with butter or cooking spray.

4. Cook each quesadilla for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden and crispy.

5. Remove, let rest for 1 minute, then slice into wedges. Garnish with cilantro or green onions. Serve hot with ranch or blue cheese dip.

Notes

Don’t overstuff the quesadillas or they’ll be hard to flip and messy to cook.

For extra creaminess, use cream cheese or even a layer of sour cream.

Mozzarella melts beautifully but a pepper jack or Mexican blend adds a spicy twist.
