Ingredients
2 cups shredded chicken (cooked)
1 ½ cups BBQ sauce
6 tortillas (8-inch)
2 cups cheddar cheese (shredded)
Instructions
Mix Chicken: In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken with BBQ sauce until evenly coated.
Heat Tortilla: Warm one tortilla in a clean skillet over low-medium heat.
Assemble Quesadilla: Sprinkle cheddar cheese over half of the tortilla. Add a layer of BBQ chicken mixture, then top with more cheddar. Fold tortilla in half.
Cook: Cook until the underside is golden with light brown spots, then flip and cook the other side until crispy and cheese is melted.
Repeat: Continue with remaining tortillas. Serve hot with your favorite dips.
Notes
Serve with sour cream, salsa, or guacamole for dipping.
Use smoked cheddar or Monterey Jack for a flavor twist.
For added crunch, sprinkle in sautéed onions or peppers with the chicken.
Keep cooked quesadillas warm in a 200°F oven if making a large batch.
