- 4 large flour tortillas
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded (leftover rotisserie chicken works great!)
- 6 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese blend)
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions (optional, for a bit of freshness and color)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter (for cooking)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Let’s dive into the cooking process, step by step. Remember, cooking is as much about enjoying the journey as it is about the destination.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil or butter. Allow it to melt and coat the pan evenly.
- Place one flour tortilla in the skillet. Spread 2 tablespoons of ranch dressing over the entire surface of the tortilla.
- Evenly distribute 1/2 cup of shredded chicken, a quarter of the crumbled bacon, and 1/4 cup of shredded cheese over one half of the tortilla. Sprinkle a few green onions if using.
- Fold the tortilla in half, pressing gently with a spatula to ensure it holds together. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and ingredients.
- Once all quesadillas are cooked, remove them from the skillet and let them rest for a minute before slicing into wedges.
- Serve warm, with extra ranch dressing on the side for dipping if desired.
