Description
Delicious Bacon Ranch Chicken Quesadillas combining crispy tortillas with cheese, savory bacon, and juicy chicken, all rich with ranch flavor.
Ingredients
- 4 large soft flour tortilla shells
- 2 chicken breasts (cooked and shredded)
- 6 slices bacon (cooked and chopped)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 Tbsp ranch dressing (or to taste)
- 2 tsp ranch seasoning
- 1 tsp chili powder
- Pico de gallo (optional, for serving)
- Sour cream (optional, for serving)
- Ancho-chile ranch (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the bacon on a lined baking sheet and bake for about 10 minutes, or until crispy. Remove and chop it into bite-sized pieces.
- Cook the chicken. Grill, boil, or bake the chicken breast ensuring it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Once cooked, shred the chicken with two forks.
- Gather all other ingredients to prepare for assembly.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Brush the bottom of the pan with a little oil. Place a tortilla in the skillet.
- Layer the tortilla with shredded mozzarella, cheddar, chopped bacon, shredded chicken, ranch dressing, ranch seasoning, and chili powder. Add another tortilla on top.
- Cook until the bottom tortilla is golden and crispy. Carefully flip it, adding more oil to the skillet if needed. Cook until both sides are crispy and golden.
- Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice into wedges using a pizza cutter.
- Serve warm with pico de gallo, sour cream, and ancho-chile ranch, if desired.
