BUFFALO CHICKEN QUESADILLAS
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!

This is from the Cooks Country magazine. The flavor combination of the blue cheese, celery, and hot sauce is perfect. I added just a few more dashes of hot sauce to the chicken after I shredded it to make it a little more spicy.

Tips:
- Use a good quality buffalo sauce. This is the key to great tasting quesadillas. Look for a sauce that is made with all-natural ingredients and has a good level of heat.
- Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken that is overcooked will be tough and dry. Cook it just until it is cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side.
- Use a good quality cheese. Cheese is another important ingredient in these quesadillas. Look for a cheese that melts well and has a good flavor. Cheddar, mozzarella, and Monterey Jack are all good choices.
- Don't overload the quesadillas. If you overload them, they will be difficult to fold and they will fall apart when you try to eat them. Stick to about 1/2 cup of filling per quesadilla.
- Serve the quesadillas immediately. Quesadillas are best when they are served hot and fresh. If you are making them ahead of time, you can reheat them in the oven or microwave.
Conclusion:
These Buffalo Chicken Quesadillas are a quick and easy meal that is perfect for a busy weeknight. They are also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With a few simple ingredients, you can have a delicious and satisfying meal on the table in no time.
