Ingredients

  • 2 large flour tortillas
  • 1 cup cheese shredded (Monterey Jack, Cheddar, or a blend)
  • 1/2 cup chicken cooked and chopped
  • 2 bacon strips cooked and crumbled
  • 1 tablespoon green onion chopped
  • 2 tablespoons ranch dressing
  • 1 teaspoon ranch seasoning optional

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, combine the cooked chicken, crumbled bacon, green onion, ranch dressing, and ranch seasoning (if using).
  • Mix everything well until evenly coated.
  • Lay one flour tortilla flat on a clean surface or cooled pan.
  • Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese evenly over the tortilla.
  • Spread the chicken bacon ranch mixture evenly on top of the cheese.
  • Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the chicken mixture.
  • Place the second tortilla on top, pressing down gently to help everything stick together.
  • Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. You can lightly grease it with a bit of butter or cooking spray if desired.
  • Carefully place the assembled quesadilla in the skillet.
  • Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy.
  • Using a spatula, carefully flip the quesadilla and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side, ensuring the cheese is fully melted and the tortilla is crispy.
  • Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and place it on a cutting board. Let it sit for a minute to cool slightly, making it easier to cut.
  • Slice the quesadilla into wedges using a sharp knife or pizza cutter. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious chicken bacon ranch quesadilla!
