Instructions
Creating quick & easy chicken bacon ranch quesadillas is straightforward when you follow these clear steps:
1. Mix the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, crumbled bacon, ranch dressing, cheese, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir until well mixed.
2. Heat the Pan: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
3. Assemble the Quesadilla: Place one tortilla in the skillet. Spread a generous portion of the filling mixture evenly on one half of the tortilla.
4. Fold the Tortilla: Carefully fold the other half of the tortilla over the filling.
5. Cook the First Side: Cook for about 3-4 minutes or until the bottom turns golden brown and the cheese starts to melt.
6. Flip the Quesadilla: Use a spatula to carefully flip the quesadilla and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes until golden brown.
7. Repeat: Remove the cooked quesadilla from the skillet and place it on a cutting board. Cover with foil to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling mixture.
8. Slice and Serve: Once all quesadillas are cooked, slice them into wedges.
