Description

A quick and filling Chicken Ranch Quesadilla filled with shredded chicken, ranch, and melty cheese, perfect for busy weeknights.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 1 cup ranch dressing
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or a blend)
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Optional toppings: lettuce, tomatoes, avocado

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix the shredded chicken with ranch dressing until well combined.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  3. Place one tortilla in the skillet and sprinkle half with shredded cheese.
  4. Add a generous portion of the chicken mixture and more cheese on top.
  5. Fold the tortilla in half and cook until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  6. Remove from skillet, slice, and serve with optional toppings.

Notes

Keep shredded chicken moist to avoid dryness in the filling. A medium-hot pan will help to melt the cheese without burning the tortilla.
