Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 3 cups shredded cooked chicken
  • 3/4 cup buffalo sauce Adjust quantity based on desired spice level.
  • 2 cups shredded colby jack cheese Can substitute with other cheese varieties.
  • 4 pieces tortillas (8 inches) Whole wheat tortillas can be used for a healthier option.
  • blue cheese dressing for dipping (optional) Consider a light version for fewer calories.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, and colby jack cheese. Mix thoroughly until the chicken is well coated.
  3. Place the tortillas on a baking sheet ensuring they can fold in half and remain in one layer.
  4. Distribute the chicken mixture over one half of each tortilla, spreading it out evenly.
  5. Fold the other half of each tortilla over the chicken mixture, covering it completely.
Cooking
  1. Bake the tortillas for about 6 minutes in the preheated oven.
  2. After 6 minutes, carefully flip each quesadilla over and bake for another 6-7 minutes until the cheese is melted and the outside of the tortillas is golden brown.

Notes

Store leftover quesadillas in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To freeze, wrap each quesadilla individually in plastic wrap and then place in a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months.
