Ingredients

– 6 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled

Instructions
Follow these easy steps to make your Chicken Bacon Ranch Quesadilla:
1. Cook the Bacon: In a skillet, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and let it drain on a paper towel, then crumble it into pieces.
2. Prepare the Chicken: If not already cooked, prepare the chicken. Shred it and mix it with ranch dressing in a bowl until evenly coated.
3. Combine Ingredients: In another bowl, combine the shredded chicken, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheese. Mix well.
4. Heat the Skillet: In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Alternatively, use cooking spray for a lighter option.
5. Assemble the Quesadilla: Place one tortilla in the skillet. Spread half of the chicken, bacon, and cheese mixture on one half of the tortilla, folding the other half over the filling.
6. Cook the Quesadilla: Cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottom is golden brown. Carefully flip the quesadilla and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side until golden and the cheese is melted.
7. Repeat: Remove the cooked quesadilla from the skillet and place it on a plate. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
8. Slice and Serve: Allow the quesadillas to cool for a minute, then slice them into wedges.
These clear and straightforward steps ensure that anyone can prepare this delightful quesadilla in no time!
