Instructions
Creating Buffalo Chicken Quesadillas is simple if you follow these clear steps:
1. Preheat the Pan: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
2. Prepare the Chicken Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the cooked shredded chicken and buffalo sauce. Mix until the chicken is well coated. If desired, add diced green onions for added flavor.
3. Assemble the Quesadilla: Place a tortilla in the heated skillet. Sprinkle half of the cheddar and mozzarella cheese evenly over the tortilla.
4. Add the Chicken: Spoon a portion of the buffalo chicken mixture over the cheese layer. Be sure not to overfill, or it may spill out during cooking.
5. Top with Cheese: Sprinkle the remaining cheddar and mozzarella cheese on top of the chicken mixture.
6. Add Another Tortilla: Place another tortilla on top, pressing down gently to ensure everything sticks together.
7. Cook the Quesadilla: Cook for about 3-4 minutes or until the bottom tortilla is golden brown. Carefully flip the quesadilla using a spatula.
8. Finish Cooking: Add another tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet, if needed. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until both sides are crispy and the cheese inside is melted.
9. Remove and Cut: Once cooked, remove the quesadilla from the skillet and allow it to cool for a minute. Cut into wedges with a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
10. Repeat: Repeat the process for the remaining quesadillas, adding more oil to the skillet as needed.
