Main Ingredients
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 2 cups Mexican cheese blend, shredded
  • 0.5 cup ranch dressing
  • 1 cup tomatoes, diced
  • 0.25 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 2 tablespoon butter for cooking

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Spatula
  • Sharp knife

Method
 

  1. In large bowl, mix shredded chicken with ranch dressing until evenly coated.
  2. Add crumbled bacon, diced tomatoes, red onion, and cilantro. Mix gently.
  3. Lay tortilla flat. Spread 1/4 of chicken mixture on one half. Top with 1/2 cup cheese.
  4. Fold empty half over filled side to create half-moon shape.
  5. Heat skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon butter and let melt.
  6. Place quesadilla in pan. Cook 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Flip carefully and cook another 2 minutes until both sides crispy and cheese melted.
  8. Remove to cutting board, rest 1 minute, then slice into wedges.
  9. Repeat with remaining quesadillas.

Notes

Cook bacon extra crispy for best texture. Don't overfill tortillas. Use medium heat to prevent burning.
