Equipment

  • Large skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 4 large flour tortillas 10 inches
  • 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
  • ½ cup buffalo wing sauce
  • ¼ cup creamy ranch dressing
  • 2 teaspoons canola oil or your preferred neutral oil
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • 2 cups 8 ounces shredded Mexican cheese blend
  • 1/8 cup fresh cilantro chopped (optional)
  • ¼ cup sour cream for dipping
  • 1 tablespoon hot sauce for extra heat and flavor
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice adds a citrusy zing

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prepare the Filling

  • In a bowl, combine the shredded rotisserie chicken and buffalo wing sauce. This mix is your flavor-packed filling. Using rotisserie chicken is a game-changer – it saves time and ensures juiciness. If you prefer, you can also cook your chicken from scratch and shred it.

Step 2: Heat the Pan

  • Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a teaspoon of canola oil, making sure it coats the surface. This will help your quesadilla get that perfect golden brown color.

Step 3: Assemble the Quesadilla

  • Take one flour tortilla and spread approximately ¼ of the buffalo chicken mixture on one half. Then sprinkle a generous amount of shredded Mexican cheese on top. The cheese is crucial; it’s the glue that holds everything together.

Step 4: Fold and Cook

  • Carefully fold the tortilla over to create a half-moon shape. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is crisp and the cheese has melted. If you’re feeling indulgent, adding a bit more oil while cooking ensures an even crispier exterior.

Step 5: Repeat

  • Repeat steps 3 and 4 for the remaining tortillas until you have four delicious quesadillas ready to go.

Step 6: Cut and Serve

  • Once cooked, remove the quesadilla from the pan and let it cool for a minute. Cut it into wedges, so they're easy to share. Serve with ranch dressing and a squeeze of lime juice on top.

Notes

Everyone loves a few insider tips to perfect a dish. Here’s what I've found helpful through years of cooking:
  • Choose Quality Tortillas: Opt for fresh, soft tortillas. They hold up better and create a delightful texture.
  • Don’t Overfill: A common mistake is adding too much filling. A little goes a long way. It’ll make flipping and cooking much easier.
  • Preheat Your Pan: A properly heated pan ensures that your quesadillas cook evenly.
  • Let it Rest: After cooking, let your quesadilla sit for a minute before cutting it. This keeps all that gooey cheese in place and enhances flavor.
  • Experiment with Ingredients: Feel free to swap in other ingredients like black beans, corn, or even sautéed onions and peppers for added flavor.
With these tips, you’ll have the confidence to whip up quesadillas that rival your favorite restaurant’s!
