# Ingredient List:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
02 -
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese or mozzarella cheese
03 -
1/2 cup ranch dressing
04 -
4 medium flour tortillas
05 -
1 tablespoon olive oil
06 -
1/4 cup diced green onions
07 -
1/4 cup diced bell pepper
08 -
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
# Preparation Steps:
01 -
Combine the cooked shredded chicken, shredded cheese, ranch dressing, diced green onions, diced bell pepper, and black pepper in a medium bowl. Mix thoroughly until the filling is evenly coated.
02 -
Add olive oil to a non-stick skillet and heat over medium heat. Swirl to evenly coat the base of the pan.
03 -
Place one flour tortilla in the heated skillet. Spread one-quarter of the chicken mixture over one half of the tortilla, then fold the tortilla over the filling to form a half-moon.
04 -
Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the underside of the tortilla is golden brown. Using a spatula, carefully flip the quesadilla.
05 -
Continue to cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, until the second side is golden and the cheese is fully melted.
06 -
Remove the cooked quesadilla from the skillet and transfer onto a wire rack. Let it rest for 2 minutes before cutting into wedges. Repeat the process for the remaining tortillas and filling.
07 -
Arrange quesadilla wedges on a plate and serve hot with additional ranch dressing on the side for dipping.
