There is something so satisfying about a hot, cheesy quesadilla for dinner. This recipe is a favorite in my house because the cool ranch sauce balances out the spicy buffalo chicken perfectly, making every bite feel like a treat.

You can easily adjust the heat level to suit your family by adding more or less buffalo sauce. It is a quick meal that brings a little bit of fun to the dinner table on a busy weeknight.

🧺 Ingredients

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 cup sweet corn kernels
2 cups shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
4 large flour tortillas
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1/2 teaspoon dried dill
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 cup buffalo wing sauce
1 cup chopped lettuce for serving

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
Whisk the sour cream, buttermilk, parsley, dill, and garlic powder in a small bowl to create your homemade cool ranch sauce.
2
In a separate bowl, toss the shredded chicken with the buffalo wing sauce until well coated.
3
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
4
Place a tortilla in the skillet and sprinkle a layer of cheese over one half.
5
Top the cheese with the buffalo chicken, bacon pieces, and corn.
6
Drizzle a little of the ranch sauce over the filling and fold the tortilla in half.
7
Cook for about 3 minutes per side until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is completely melted.
8
Repeat with the remaining tortillas and serve warm with extra ranch and chopped lettuce on the side.

💡 Tips

These are best served right away while the cheese is gooey. If you have leftovers, keep them in the fridge and reheat them in a dry skillet to get the crunch back in the tortilla.
