Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 6 slices crispy cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Optional: diced tomatoes, chopped green onions, or jalapeños for extra flavor
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, crumbled bacon, and ranch dressing. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly coated.
- Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of the chicken and bacon mixture over half of the tortilla. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top. Fold the tortilla in half to enclose the filling. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Carefully place the assembled quesadillas into the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the tortillas are golden brown and cheese is melted.
- Remove from skillet and let rest for a minute. Slice into wedges and serve hot with additional ranch dressing, salsa, or favorite sides.
Notes
- Ensure the chicken is cooked and shredded beforehand to save time.
- Use a non-stick skillet for easier flipping and cleanup.
- Experiment with different cheeses like Monterey Jack or pepper jack for added spice.
- Opt for whole wheat tortillas and low-fat cheese for a healthier version.
