01 -
1 package (12 ounces) refrigerated grilled chicken strips
02 -
6 soft taco size flour tortillas
03 -
1 and 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
04 -
12 slices cooked bacon
05 -
1/2 cup bottled ranch dressing
# Preparation Steps:
01 -
Place one flour tortilla on a clean flat surface. Distribute shredded cheddar cheese evenly across the tortilla, ensuring full coverage.
02 -
Arrange grilled chicken strips and cooked bacon slices over half of the tortilla. Drizzle ranch dressing evenly atop the chicken and bacon.

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and coat lightly with cooking spray. Carefully transfer the prepared tortilla to the skillet. Cook for about 1 minute, allowing the cheese to begin melting.
04 -
Fold the cheese-covered side of the tortilla over the chicken and bacon-filled side to create a half-moon shape. Continue cooking for 2 additional minutes, flipping once with a spatula, until both sides are golden brown and crisp.

Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and place on a cutting board. Cut into wedges and serve immediately while warm.

Enhance flavor and texture by incorporating sautéed onions, mushrooms, or bell pepper, or replace cheddar with Monterey jack cheese.

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat using either an oven or microwave to maintain texture.
