Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken breast
  • 6 strips of bacon
  • 2 teaspoons ranch seasoning mix
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1 ½ cups shredded cheese blend (cheddar and Monterey Jack)
  • 3 green onions, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons butter or oil (for cooking)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ranch Chicken: Season the cooked, shredded chicken breast with ranch seasoning mix, salt, and pepper. Toss well to evenly coat the chicken with the ranch flavors.
  2. Cook the Bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon strips until crispy. Remove from skillet, drain on paper towels, then chop into bite-sized pieces.
  3. Assemble the Quesadilla Stack: Place a tortilla on a heated skillet or griddle. Evenly sprinkle a layer of shredded cheese, followed by a layer of ranch chicken, then bacon pieces, sliced green onions, and another cheese layer. Carefully top with a second tortilla and gently press down to create the stack.
  4. Cook Each Layer to Perfection: Cook the quesadilla stack over medium heat for 3-4 minutes on each side or until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese is thoroughly melted. Use a spatula to flip carefully, keeping all layers intact.
  5. Slice and Serve: Transfer the cooked quesadilla stack to a cutting board. Slice into wedges and serve immediately while warm and gooey.

Notes

  • Use medium-low heat to melt cheese without burning the tortillas.
  • Layer cheese on both sides of the chicken for extra binding.
  • Prep shredded chicken and cooked bacon ahead of time to reduce cooking stress.
  • Add fresh herbs like chopped cilantro or parsley for a fresh twist.
  • Use a non-stick skillet to prevent sticking and ease flipping.
