Filled with tender chicken, crispy bacon, and creamy ranch, these quesadillas are easy to make in just 20 minutes, making them an ideal 20-minute meal for the whole family.

  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 4 quesadillas

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (use leftover or rotisserie chicken)
  • 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • ½ cup ranch dressing
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter for cooking
  • Optional: chopped green onions, jalapeños, or tomatoes for garnish

Instructions

  1. Combine the cooked chicken, crumbled bacon, and ranch dressing in a mixing bowl. Stir until well coated and evenly mixed.
  2. Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a portion of the mixture over half of the tortilla. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top. Fold the tortilla in half, pressing gently to secure the filling.
  3. Heat a skillet or non-stick pan over medium heat with a little olive oil or butter. Cook each assembled quesadilla for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy, and cheese is melted. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • Reheat in a skillet over medium heat or in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until crispy.
  • For longer storage, freeze cooked quesadillas for up to 1 month and reheat as needed.
