  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked chicken (shredded or diced) https://thewhiskhouse.com/chicken
  • 4 slices crispy bacon, crumbled
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing or ranch sauce
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • Optional: chopped green onions or jalapeños for extra flavor
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine the cooked chicken, bacon, and ranch dressing. Mix well and season with salt and pepper if needed.
  2. Spread about 1/4 cup of the chicken bacon ranch mixture on one side of a tortilla, then sprinkle with shredded cheese. Top with another tortilla to form a sandwich. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
  3. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the assembled quesadilla in the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Flip carefully and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes until cheese melts and tortillas are crispy.
  4. Let the quesadillas rest for a minute before slicing into wedges. Serve hot with additional ranch or dipping sides. Garnish with chopped green onions or jalapeños if desired.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add chopped green onions or jalapeños before serving.
  • To keep leftovers, wrap in foil or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • Reheat in a skillet or microwave, and for extra crispiness, re-toast in a skillet or air fryer.
