Chicken Bacon Ranch Quesadilla Bliss
Ingredients
- 2 large flour tortillas
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
- 6 slices bacon, cooked until crispy and crumbled
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup ranch dressing
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions (optional)
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the cooked chicken, crispy bacon, cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, ranch dressing, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix until everything is evenly coated.
- Fill the Tortillas: Lay the flour tortillas flat and spread the chicken mixture evenly over one half of each tortilla. Sprinkle with chopped green onions if desired, then fold the tortillas in half.
- Cook the Quesadillas: Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Place one folded quesadilla in the skillet and cook for 3–4 minutes on each side, until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy and the cheese is melted.
- Repeat: Add the remaining butter and cook the second quesadilla the same way.
- Slice and Serve: Let the quesadillas rest for 1–2 minutes before cutting them into wedges. Serve warm with extra ranch dressing for dipping.
Tips for the Best Quesadillas
- Use freshly cooked, seasoned chicken for the best flavor.
- Cook the bacon until crispy to add a delicious crunch.
- Don’t overfill the tortillas, or the filling may spill out while cooking.
- Keep the heat at medium to allow the cheese to melt without burning the tortillas.
- Serve with extra ranch dressing, sour cream, or your favorite dipping sauce.
