Description
Chicken Bacon Ranch Quesadillas are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that combines shredded chicken, crispy bacon, and melted cheese, all seasoned with ranch flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 6 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
- 8 flour tortillas (8-inch)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Sour cream and salsa for serving (optional)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, crumbled bacon, cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, and ranch seasoning mix. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly coated with the seasoning.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add half of the olive oil.
- Place one tortilla in the skillet and spread about 1 cup of the chicken mixture evenly over half of the tortilla.
- Fold the tortilla in half to cover the filling and cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown.
- Carefully flip the quesadilla and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side until it is golden and the cheese is melted.
- Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling, adding more olive oil as needed.
- Slice each quesadilla into wedges and serve warm with sour cream and salsa, if desired.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add diced jalapeños to the chicken mixture.
- For a healthier option, use whole wheat tortillas and reduce the cheese by half.
