Ingredients and Substitutions
- 10-inch Flour Tortillas – These are burrito-sized tortillas.
- Cheese – This recipe calls for two types of shredded cheese: cheddar and provolone. Or you can substitute the two varieties for the Mexican cheese blend.
- Shredded, Cooked Chicken (rotisserie or homemade)
- Frank’s RedHot Sauce – This is my personal go-to hot sauce. It is perfect for buffalo-style recipes such as this one. Wing sauce is a great substitute.
- Ranch Dressing
- Scallions - If you do not have scallions on hand, use minced white or red onion instead.
- Fresh Cilantro (optional)
- Avocado Oil – Or your favorite neutral-flavored oil, like canola.
- Sour Cream or Greek Yogurt – For service.
How to Make Buffalo Chicken Quesadillas
Combine all of the ingredients {except the tortillas and oil} in a large bowl.
Divide the mixture between the two tortillas and spread over one half of each tortilla. Fold the opposite side {of each tortilla} over and gently press down.
Heat the avocado oil in a large nonstick pan over medium heat. Cook until each side is golden brown and the cheese has melted.
Recipe Tips
Use kitchen shears to cut the quesadillas into slices. They make the slicing process a breeze!
For service, stir a teaspoon of ranch dressing into sour cream or Greek yogurt. Dip each quesadilla slice into this delicious concoction.
