Chicken Bacon Ranch Quesadillas

Easy and delicious!

JUMP TO RECIPE

With just a few simple ingredients, you can have a fun dinner or even use this recipe for an appetizer. I usually conjure this up with some leftover chicken from the day before. Hey, waste not, want not, right? I’m all about repurposing leftover food. So if you make my juicy baked chicken recipe, found here and you have a little leftover, try it in this quesadilla recipe….or use a precooked rotisserie chicken from the store to make it super simple. Kids love helping with this, so let them make a little mess…it will be ok!😉

Let’s Begin!

Ingredients:

  • Eight 6 inch flour tortillas

  • 1-2 tbsp olive oil or melted butter

  • 2 cups shredded or chopped chicken (leftover or rotisserie is fine)

  • 1 1/2-2 cups shredded cheese of your choice (I used sharp cheddar, but a three cheese mexican blend would also be great)

  • 5 or 6 pieces of cooked bacon, crumbled (or in a pinch, real bacon bits would also work)

  • 4 tbsp taco sauce

  • ranch dressing (for dipping or topping)

Optional add-ins:

  • Black olives

  • sliced jalapeños

Instructions:

Begin by heating a large skillet or griddle to medium heat.

Next, place remaining four tortilla rounds on top and brush with remaining oil or melted butter.

Enjoy!
