Instructions
Creating Buffalo Chicken Quesadillas is a straightforward process. Follow these steps for delicious results:
1. Prepare the Chicken: In a bowl, mix the shredded chicken with Buffalo sauce until evenly coated.
2. Heat the Pan: Over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to a skillet. Allow it to warm up.
3. Assemble the Quesadilla: Place a tortilla in the skillet. On one half, layer ¼ cup of cheddar and mozzarella cheese, followed by half of the Buffalo chicken mixture.
4. Add More Cheese: Top the chicken with another ¼ cup of cheese. Fold the tortilla over to create a half-moon shape.
5. Cook Until Golden: Cook for about 3-4 minutes or until the bottom is golden brown.
6. Flip the Quesadilla: Carefully flip the quesadilla and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes until the cheese melts and it’s crispy.
7. Remove and Slice: Take the quesadilla out of the skillet. Let it cool slightly, then slice into wedges.
8. Repeat: Repeat steps 2-7 for the second quesadilla.
9. Serve: Arrange the quesadilla wedges on a platter. Garnish with chopped green onions and serve with sour cream on the side.
Each step is crafted to ensure that your quesadillas turn out perfectly crispy and full of flavor!
