Description
Crispy flour tortillas filled with seasoned chicken, creamy chipotle ranch, and melty mozzarella and cheddar cheese, then toasted until golden and served hot for an easy, flavor-packed meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or chopped
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing
- 2 tablespoons chipotle sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 tablespoon oil
Instructions
- Preheat a large skillet over medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, ranch dressing, chipotle sauce, mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and chopped cilantro. Stir until evenly mixed.
- Lightly brush the skillet with oil.
- Place a tortilla flat and spread one quarter of the chicken mixture over one half. Fold the tortilla over to form a half-moon. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
- Cook each quesadilla for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crisp outside and the cheese is melted inside.
- Transfer to a cutting board and rest for 1 minute.
- Slice into wedges and serve warm.
Notes
- Use freshly shredded cheese for the smoothest melt.
- Do not overfill the tortillas or they may tear during flipping.
- Reduce the chipotle sauce for a milder version.
- Reheat leftovers in a skillet or oven to keep them crispy.
