Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pieces flour tortillas
- 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
- 1/2 cup chopped green onions
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients by gathering all required items and ensuring the chicken is cooked and shredded.
- Mix the shredded chicken with ranch dressing, salt, and pepper in a bowl until well-coated. Fold in chopped green onions.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and add olive oil, coating the bottom of the pan.
- Assemble the quesadilla by spreading half of the chicken-ranch mixture on one tortilla, topping it with half of the cheese, then placing the second tortilla on top.
- Cook the quesadilla in the skillet for about 3-4 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and crisp.

- Slice the quesadilla into wedges and serve after letting it cool for a minute.
