Instructions
Creating Quick & Easy Chicken Bacon Ranch Quesadillas is simple. Just follow these easy steps:
1. Prepare Filling: In a bowl, mix the shredded chicken, crumbled bacon, shredded cheese, and ranch dressing until well combined.
2. Heat Pan: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil or butter to coat the bottom.
3. Assemble Quesadillas: Place one tortilla on a flat surface. Spread a generous portion of the chicken mixture over half of the tortilla, leaving the other half empty.
4. Fold Quesadilla: Fold the tortilla in half so the chicken mixture is encased.
5. Cook Quesadilla: Place the folded quesadilla in the hot skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes or until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.
6. Flip Carefully: Carefully flip the quesadilla using a spatula and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes until it’s crispy and the cheese is melted.
7. Remove and Slice: Once cooked, remove the quesadilla from the skillet and place it on a cutting board. Slice it into wedges.
8. Repeat: Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling mixture.
9. Serve Warm: Serve your quesadilla wedges warm. Optionally, garnish with chopped green onions or jalapeños.
This methodical approach guarantees flavorful quesadillas in no time at all!
