These Buffalo Chicken Quesadillas are to die for!!! Kickin’ buffalo chicken, melted cheese and crispy outside topped in guac, sour cream and more!
A while back my husband and I went out to eat at Chili’s and I had their chicken quesadillas. They were pretty good and I thought they would make a quick and easy meal that my kids would like. After trying a few different flavors of chicken filling I landed on this buffalo chicken filling. The flavor combination is amazing. Dip, dunk or slather them in sour cream, guacamole and tomatoes! Be warned though, these buffalo chicken quesadillas are seriously addicting!!!
First, make sure you’ve planned ahead enough to make the buffalo chicken filling. You can make it a day ahead and reheat it. Prepare the buffalo chicken filling as instructed in the recipe.
Preheat your griddle, I set mine to about 300 degrees, and prepare your buffalo chicken quesadillas. I like to use the 4 inch Street Taco size flour tortillas. Also, just a note, I made these once with corn tortillas and they were not very good. I recommend only using flour tortillas. Scoop about an 1/8 cup of the buffalo chicken filling onto a tortilla. Spread it out evenly using a fork. Sprinkle with cheese and top with another tortilla.
Drizzle a little bit of olive oil on the top tortilla and brush it around with a pastry brush. Place you buffalo chicken quesadillas oil side down on a preheated griddle. Brush olive oil across the now, top tortilla.
Cook until golden brown, flip, and brown the other side. Remove from the griddle.
Cut the buffalo chicken quesadillas into quarters and serve with sour cream, guacamole and diced tomatoes! You can also add salsa and cilantro if you like! If you like the serving dishes in the picture I left the link to order some after the recipe! I use them much more that I thought I would!
