Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Mixture
- 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded or diced
- 1 teaspoon ranch seasoning mix
Cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or a cheese blend of your choice)
Tortillas
- 2 large flour tortillas
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, combine the cooked chicken with the ranch seasoning mix, ensuring the chicken is evenly coated for maximum flavor.
- Assemble the Quesadilla: Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread the chicken and ranch mixture evenly over half of the tortilla. Sprinkle the shredded cheese generously on top of the chicken mixture. Fold the other half of the tortilla over to create a half-moon shape, pressing gently to seal.
- Cook Until Crispy: Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Place the quesadilla in the pan and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy and the cheese has melted completely.
- Slice and Serve: Remove the quesadilla from the pan, let it cool for a minute, then slice into wedges. Serve immediately, optionally with salsa, sour cream, or guacamole on the side.
Notes
- You can use rotisserie chicken for a convenient shortcut.
- Adjust ranch seasoning quantity to taste preferences or use homemade ranch seasoning.
- For extra flavor, add sliced jalapeños, onions, or bell peppers inside the quesadilla before cooking.
- Use a low-fat cheese or whole wheat tortillas for a healthier option.
