Description
A flavorful dish featuring crispy bacon, juicy chicken, and creamy ranch dressing melted in a crispy tortilla, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup chopped rotisserie chicken (or any precooked boneless chicken)
- 6 pieces of crispy bacon (cooked)
- 2 scallions (finely diced)
- 4 tbsp ranch dressing (plus more for serving)
- 2 tbsp oil or butter (such as olive oil or vegetable oil)
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Place 1 tortilla on a cutting board. Sprinkle half a cup of shredded cheddar on one half.
- Layer with half of the chopped chicken, half of the crispy bacon, half of the scallions, and a drizzle of ranch dressing (about 2 tbsp). Top with another half cup of cheddar cheese.
- Fold the tortilla over to cover the filling.
- In a large frying pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Swirl to coat the pan.
- Carefully place the quesadilla in the pan and cook for 2-5 minutes, until the bottom is crispy and golden, and the cheese starts to melt.
- Gently flip the quesadilla and cook for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring both sides are golden and the cheese has melted.
- Remove from heat and sprinkle with a pinch of salt while it’s still hot.
- Repeat the process for the remaining ingredients.
- Serve with additional ranch, salsa, or pickled jalapeños if desired.
