Buffalo Chicken Quesadillas Recipe

These spicy Buffalo Chicken Quesadillas are quick and easy to make. Prepare these tasty bites for a quick lunch or dinner, or cut them up in smaller sizes and serve them up at your next party.

Around here our crew does like things spiced up a bit, and these Buffalo Chicken Quesadillas are right up that spicy alley. They’re a cinch to make too, which is the reason they’ve been made three times in the past week alone. Really. No joke.

With a few simple ingredients prepped ahead these quesadillas can be made and ready to enjoy in under 10 minutes. The prepping ahead of time includes shredding/crumbling cheese, deboning and pulling apart/shredding roasted chicken (a rotisserie from the local grocer works well), and mixing the chicken with your favorite hot sauce. Warm a skillet, lay a tortilla down, spread the cheese and chicken on the tortilla, top with another tortilla and carefully watch for browning underneath. and the cheese beginning to melt. Gently press and carefully flip over. Again, watch for browning underneath and the cheese to be completely melted. Remove from pan and cut up to serve. Seriously super simple stuff, right?

Not much beats a bit of spice mixed with ooey gooey cheese! Serve these with sour cream, or ranch to cool things off a bit if you’d like. I think you’ll find these delicious quesadillas will disappear quick, so be prepared to make more.

Enjoy!
