Cheesy, crispy BBQ chicken quesadillas loaded with shredded chicken, tangy barbecue sauce, and melty cheese — ready in under 30 minutes.
2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
1/2–2/3 cup BBQ sauce
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
4 large flour tortillas (8–10-inch)
1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion (optional)
1 tbsp chopped cilantro or green onions (optional)
Butter or olive oil for cooking
In a bowl, mix chicken with BBQ sauce until evenly coated.
Heat a skillet over medium heat with a small amount of butter or oil.
Place one tortilla on a flat surface. On one half, add cheese, BBQ chicken, more cheese, and optional toppings. Fold the tortilla in half.
Cook the folded tortilla in the skillet for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crisp.
Remove, cool slightly, and cut into wedges. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
Use rotisserie chicken for quick prep. Freeze cooked quesadillas for easy future meals. Add jalapeños or bell peppers for variation.
