Ingredients

  • Cooked Chicken Breast
  • Cooked Shredded Beef (optional)
  • BBQ Sauce
  • Hot Sauce
  • Honey
  • Flour Tortillas
  • Shredded Cheese (Monterey Jack and sharp cheddar or Mexican cheese blend)
  • Red Onion (optional)
  • Cilantro (optional)
  • Avocado or Guacamole (optional)
  • Sour Cream or Greek Yogurt (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine your shredded cooked chicken (or beef) with your favorite BBQ sauce, hot sauce, and honey. Stir well until the chicken is thoroughly coated. Taste and adjust the hot sauce or honey to your liking.
  2. Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Optionally, add a very light brush of oil or a small pat of butter to the pan before each quesadilla.
  3. Lay one flour tortilla flat in the warm pan. Sprinkle about a quarter cup of shredded cheese evenly over half of the tortilla.
  4. Spoon about a quarter of your hot honey BBQ chicken mixture over the cheese on that same half of the tortilla. If using, sprinkle a few finely diced red onions and some fresh cilantro on top of the chicken.
  5. Sprinkle another quarter cup of cheese over the chicken mixture and the empty half of the tortilla.
  6. Allow the quesadilla to cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is starting to melt.
  7. Carefully fold the empty half of the tortilla over the filled half, pressing down gently with a spatula. Continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes on each side, flipping once, until both sides are golden brown and the cheese is completely melted and bubbly.
  8. Remove the cooked quesadilla from the pan, transfer it to a cutting board, and let it rest for a minute. Cut into wedges using a pizza cutter or sharp knife. Repeat steps 3-7 with the remaining tortillas and filling. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings!

Keywords: Don't overfill the quesadillas for perfect browning and melting. Brush the skillet with a thin layer of butter or oil for ultimate crispiness. Adjust the heat level of the hot honey BBQ sauce to your preference.
