Description
BBQ Chicken Quesadilla Delight is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that combines shredded chicken with BBQ sauce and melted cheese, all wrapped in a crispy tortilla.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions (optional)
- Sour cream and salsa for serving
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken and BBQ sauce. Mix well until the chicken is fully coated.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
- Place one tortilla in the skillet and sprinkle half of the cheddar and mozzarella cheese evenly over the tortilla.
- Spread half of the BBQ chicken mixture over the cheese, then sprinkle with half of the green onions if using.
- Top with another tortilla and cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt.
- Carefully flip the quesadilla using a large spatula and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side until golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
- Remove from the skillet and let it cool for a minute before cutting into wedges. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
- Serve warm with sour cream and salsa on the side.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add sliced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the BBQ chicken mixture.
- Substitute the chicken with cooked pulled pork or beef for a different flavor profile.
