Chicken, Bacon Ranch Quesadillas


Chicken, Bacon Ranch Quesadillas: Savory Sweet and Satisfying

My family goes in spurts with certain foods. For example they were eating up tortillas like crazy, so I bought a bunch more and they stopped eating them as much. So, now I am left with a bunch of tortillas to use up. Hopefully all the recipes I try turn out just as delicious as this one.

Chicken, Bacon Ranch Quesadillas

Ingredients:

  • 2 1/4 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 4-6 tablespoons ranch dressing
  • 2-4 tablespoons canned diced green chilies
  • 2/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2/3 cup shredded Monterey jack cheese
  • 2/3 cup shredded Colby cheese
  • 8 flour tortillas (8-inches)

Directions:

  1. In a medium bowl, stir together the shredded chicken, crumbled bacon, ranch dressing and green chilies.
  2. In a large bowl, combine all 3 cheeses together.
  3. Place 4 tortillas down and sprinkle each one with 1/4 cup of cheese.
  4. Evenly divided the chicken mixture between the tortillas and spread out onto the cheese.
  5. Sprinkle the remaining cheese onto of the chicken, about 1/4 cup and place another tortilla on top.
  6. Heat a skillet over medium heat.
  7. Add a tortilla to the skillet and cook until the bottom is golden brown. Flip over and cook on the other side until golden brown and cheese is melted.
  8. Repeat cooking the other tortillas.
Enjoy!!!

Notes:
For a spicier version, use canned diced jalapeƱos instead of diced chilies.
