Equipment
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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Enjoy! Cut each quesadilla into equal-sized triangles and serve with dips and sides of choice.
