  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large flour tortillas
  • 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded or diced
  • 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1/4 cup ranch dressing
  • 1 tablespoon butter or oil for cooking
  • Optional: chopped green onions for garnish

Instructions

  1. Gather all your ingredients ahead of time. Cook the bacon until crispy, then crumble. Prepare the cooked chicken, using leftovers or cooking quickly if needed.
  2. Spread ranch dressing evenly over one side of a tortilla. Layer half of the chicken, bacon, and cheeses on one half of the tortilla. Fold in half to enclose the ingredients.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add butter or oil. Carefully place the assembled quesadilla in the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cheese melts.
  4. Remove from heat and let rest for a minute. Slice into wedges, garnish with green onions if desired, and serve hot with salsa or sour cream.

Notes

  • To keep leftovers crisp, reheat quesadillas in a skillet or microwave until hot.
  • Add sliced jalapeños or hot sauce for extra flavor.
  • For quick prep, use pre-cooked chicken or store-bought cooked bacon.
