About This Recipe

Buffalo chicken quesadillas are stuffed with spicy chicken and gooey cheese and wrapped around a crispy tortilla! So delicious and ready in 25 minutes, make them for an easy and high-protein dinner.

Ingredients

  • 2 cup shredded chicken ((8 ounces))
  • 1/4 cup buffalo sauce
  • 2 tablespoons greek yogurt ((1 ounce))
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried dill
  • 2 large tortillas ((8-10 inches))
  • 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese ((2 ounces))
  • 1/2 tablespoon butter
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • for serving - guacamole, blue cheese dressing, ranch dressing, buffalo sauce…

Instructions

  1. Make your buffalo chicken mixture. In a medium bowl, add your shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, greek yogurt, garlic powder, dill, and some salt and pepper. Stir well to combine.
  2. If your tortillas feel a little dry, you can heat them to help them be pliable. Add them to a hot pan or griddle and heat for 15-30 seconds per side.
  3. Make your quesadillas. Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat and melt the butter. Add about 1/4 of your shredded cheese to half of your tortilla. Top with buffalo chicken mixture and sprinkle with about 1/4 more of your cheese. Fold the other half of the tortilla over the ingredients, pressing it down. Place it on the griddle and cook for 4 minutes, flip, and cook for another 2-3 minutes until both sides are slightly crispy and golden brown. I like putting a small pan over the quesadilla while it cooks to help it get crispy. Repeat with the remaining tortilla, chicken, and cheese.
  4. Enjoy! Cut each quesadilla into equal-sized triangles and serve with dips and sides of choice.
