Main ingredients
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 1 cup ranch dressing
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
  • 4 pieces flour tortillas
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
Optional toppings
  • diced tomatoes For an extra kick

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, mix the shredded chicken with ranch dressing.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.
  3. Place one tortilla in the skillet, then layer with a portion of the chicken mixture and cheese.
  4. Top with another tortilla and cook until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.
  5. Flip and cook the other side until golden and the cheese is melted.
  6. Remove from the skillet, slice into wedges, and serve with optional toppings.

Notes

For serving, slice the quesadillas into wedges and stack them high on a colorful plate. Pair with fresh salsa or guacamole for that extra zing. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days or frozen for 2 months. Reheat on the skillet or in the microwave.
