  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
  • 6 slices crispy bacon, chopped
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or cooking spray
  • Optional: chopped green onions, jalapeños, or cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, chopped bacon, and ranch dressing. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly coated.
  2. Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a generous amount of the chicken and bacon mixture onto half of the tortilla. Sprinkle cheese over the filling, then fold the tortilla in half.
  3. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with olive oil or cooking spray. Place the assembled quesadilla onto the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, pressing gently until golden brown and crispy. Repeat with remaining quesadillas.
  4. Slice into wedges and garnish with optional green onions, jalapeños, or cilantro. Serve immediately with additional ranch dressing or salsa for dipping.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • Reheat in a skillet over low heat or microwave. For best crispiness, reheat in a hot skillet or toaster oven.
