🛒 Ingredients — 2 Servings
- 4 medium flour tortillas
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- ½ cup BBQ sauce
- 1½ cups shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
- ¼ red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp butter or cooking oil
- Chopped green onions, optional
👨🍳 4 Easy Steps
1. Make the Filling
Mix shredded chicken with BBQ sauce until evenly coated.
2. Build the Quesadillas
Place cheese on half of each tortilla. Add BBQ chicken, sliced onion, and a little more cheese. Fold the tortilla in half.
3. Cook Until Crispy
Heat a skillet over medium heat with a little butter or oil.
Cook each quesadilla for about 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crispy and the cheese is melted.
4. Slice & Serve
Let them rest for 1 minute, then cut into wedges.
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
⭐ ChefEase Kitchen Tip
Keep the heat at medium.
High heat can burn the tortilla before the cheese melts.
For the best result:
Medium heat + a little patience = crispy outside, melty inside.
