Instructions

Prepare the filling: In a bowl, mix the shredded chicken with buffalo sauce and cream cheese or ranch dressing until well combined.
Heat the skillet: Warm a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add butter or oil for extra crispiness.
Assemble the quesadillas: Place a tortilla in the skillet. Sprinkle cheese on one half, add the buffalo chicken mixture, and top with more cheese.
Fold and cook: Fold the tortilla and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula until golden brown and crispy.
Slice and serve: Let the quesadilla rest for a minute, then slice into wedges. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces.

Notes

To make them spicier, add more buffalo sauce or jalapeños.

For a vegetarian version, swap chicken for sautéed mushrooms and bell peppers.

Leftovers can be stored for up to 2-3 days in the fridge.
