BUFFALO CHICKEN QUESADILLAS



Buffalo Chicken Quesadillas image

This is an easy way to serve up a quick dinner with a lot of flavor! No need to use oil or butter to toast each side of the quesadilla, but you can if you'd like. I prefer a dry heat. Tortillas made with a corn-flour mixture work best. Serve with either Buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, or sour cream!

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound chicken tenders
½ tablespoon olive oil
1 shallot, diced
2 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature
¼ cup ranch dressing
⅛ cup Buffalo sauce
salt and ground black pepper to taste
½ (1 inch) cube shredded Colby-Monterey Jack cheese
½ cup shredded Gouda cheese
8 (6 inch) tortillas, or more as needed

Steps:

  • Place chicken tenders into a medium-sized pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce temperature to medium-low and simmer until chicken tenders are cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain chicken tenders. Transfer to a cutting board and cut or shred as desired.
  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook shallot until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Combine cream cheese, ranch dressing, Buffalo sauce, and cooked shallots in a bowl; mix until creamy. Add cooked chicken and season with salt and pepper.
  • Spread Buffalo chicken mixture onto a tortilla and top with Colby-Monterey Jack cheese and Gouda cheese. Cover with a second tortilla and set quesadilla aside. Repeat with remaining tortillas, chicken mixture, and cheese.
  • Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add 1 quesadilla and cook until browned on 1 side, about 3 minutes. Carefully flip and cook until tortilla is crisp and cheese is melted, about 3 more minutes. Repeat with remaining quesadillas.

Tips:

  • Choose the right tortillas. Corn or flour tortillas can be used for this recipe, but corn tortillas are more traditional. Look for tortillas that are fresh and pliable.
  • Use a good quality buffalo sauce. The buffalo sauce is the key to the flavor of these quesadillas, so make sure to use a good quality sauce that you enjoy. You can use a store-bought sauce or make your own.
  • Shred the chicken before cooking. Shredding the chicken before cooking will help it to cook evenly and quickly. You can shred the chicken by hand or use a food processor.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Overcooked chicken will be tough and dry. Cook the chicken just until it is cooked through.
  • Add your favorite toppings. Once the quesadillas are cooked, you can add your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, guacamole, salsa, or pico de gallo.

Conclusion:

Baked Buffalo Chicken Quesadillas are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for parties or game day gatherings. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that everyone will love.
