Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
  • 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 2 tablespoons butter or oil for cooking

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, crumbled bacon, Monterey Jack cheese, cheddar cheese, and ranch dressing. Mix everything until the ingredients are evenly coated.
  2. Preheat a large skillet over medium heat. Add half of the butter or oil to the skillet.
  3. Place one tortilla in the hot skillet. Spread half of the chicken mixture evenly over one half of the tortilla.
  4. Fold the empty half of the tortilla over the filling to create a half-moon shape.
  5. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
  6. Remove the cooked quesadilla and place it on a cutting board. Repeat the process with the remaining filling and tortillas, adding more butter as needed.
  7. Slice each quesadilla into wedges and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Using rotisserie chicken speeds up this recipe significantly.
  • For extra crispiness, cook the quesadillas slightly longer on medium-low heat.
  • You can substitute any cheese blend you enjoy, such as Pepper Jack for a little heat.
