Ingredients
  

For the Quesadilla
  • 4 pieces Flour Tortillas Substitute with corn tortillas for gluten-free option
  • 2 cups Cooked Chicken (shredded) Leftover roasted or rotisserie chicken works well
  • 6 slices Bacon (cooked and crumbled) Turkey bacon is a lighter variation
  • 2 cups Mexican Cheese Blend (shredded) Monterey Jack or Cheddar can be used
  • 1/2 cup Ranch Dressing Can swap for chipotle sauce for spiciness
  • 1 cup Diced Tomatoes Diced avocado can be a substitute
  • 1/4 cup Red Onion (finely chopped) Green onions can be used as a milder substitute
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Cilantro (chopped) Skip if not a fan
  • 1 tablespoon Butter Olive oil can be a healthier alternative
For the Topping
  • 1 cup Salsa Mango salsa can be a fruity twist
  • 1/2 cup Sour Cream Greek yogurt is a healthy substitute
  • 1 cup Guacamole Fresh or store-bought is great

Equipment

  • Nonstick skillet

Method
 

Directions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken with ranch dressing, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Add crumbled bacon, diced tomatoes, finely chopped red onion, and fresh cilantro.
  2. Place a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter, allowing it to melt completely.
  3. Lay one flour tortilla in the skillet. Sprinkle half of the Mexican cheese blend on one side of the tortilla. Spoon a generous portion of the chicken mixture evenly over the cheese, and top with more cheese.
  4. Fold the tortilla in half, pressing gently with a spatula. Cook for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Flip and cook another 2-3 minutes.
  5. Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it rest on a cutting board for 1 minute. Cut into wedges.
  6. Serve hot, alongside salsa, sour cream, or guacamole.
