Description
Crispy buffalo chicken quesadillas with a creamy dipping sauce make an easy weeknight dinner or game day snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie works great)
- 1/3 cup buffalo wing sauce (plus more to taste)
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella or Monterey Jack (or a blend)
- 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
- 1 tbsp butter or oil (for crisping)
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/3 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
- 2–3 tbsp buffalo wing sauce
- 1 tsp ranch seasoning (or 1/2 tsp garlic powder + 1/2 tsp onion powder)
- Pinch of salt and pepper
Instructions
- In a bowl, toss shredded chicken with buffalo wing sauce until coated.
- Stir together the dip: mayo, sour cream, buffalo sauce, ranch seasoning, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
- Lay out tortillas. Add cheese over half of each tortilla, then spoon on buffalo chicken, then add a little more cheese (helps it glue together). Fold tortillas in half.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat. Melt a little butter (or add a drizzle of oil).
- Cook quesadillas 2–3 minutes per side until deeply golden and crisp and the cheese is fully melted.
- Slice into wedges and serve warm with the creamy buffalo dip on the side.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken for quick prep.
- Adjust buffalo sauce to your preferred spice level.
- Serve immediately for maximum crispiness.
