BUFFALO CHICKEN QUESADILLAS

This is an easy way to serve up a quick dinner with a lot of flavor! No need to use oil or butter to toast each side of the quesadilla, but you can if you'd like. I prefer a dry heat. Tortillas made with a corn-flour mixture work best. Serve with either Buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, or sour cream!

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound chicken tenders
½ tablespoon olive oil
1 shallot, diced
2 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature
¼ cup ranch dressing
⅛ cup Buffalo sauce
salt and ground black pepper to taste
½ (1 inch) cube shredded Colby-Monterey Jack cheese
½ cup shredded Gouda cheese
8 (6 inch) tortillas, or more as needed

Steps:

  • Place chicken tenders into a medium-sized pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce temperature to medium-low and simmer until chicken tenders are cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain chicken tenders. Transfer to a cutting board and cut or shred as desired.
  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook shallot until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Combine cream cheese, ranch dressing, Buffalo sauce, and cooked shallots in a bowl; mix until creamy. Add cooked chicken and season with salt and pepper.
  • Spread Buffalo chicken mixture onto a tortilla and top with Colby-Monterey Jack cheese and Gouda cheese. Cover with a second tortilla and set quesadilla aside. Repeat with remaining tortillas, chicken mixture, and cheese.
  • Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add 1 quesadilla and cook until browned on 1 side, about 3 minutes. Carefully flip and cook until tortilla is crisp and cheese is melted, about 3 more minutes. Repeat with remaining quesadillas.

BLACK BEAN AND PINEAPPLE QUESADILLA



Black Bean and Pineapple Quesadilla image

I recreated this dish from a favorite at a local restaurant. You can easily adjust the heat to taste (I like mine mild) by adding cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes. You can also use a Mexican-style 4 cheese blend for a tasty result!
