Ingredients

For the Quesadilla:

• 4 large flour tortillas

• 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese

• 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded

• 6 slices cooked bacon, crumbled

• 2 scallions, finely diced

• 4 tablespoons ranch dressing (plus more for serving)

• 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter

• Salt, to taste

Optional Toppings:

• Sour cream

• Extra ranch dressing

• Sliced avocado

• Pico de gallo

• Pickled jalapeños

Directions

1. Prepare the Filling:

   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken and ranch dressing until well coated.

   • Add the crumbled bacon, diced scallions, and mix gently until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

2. Assemble the Quesadillas:

   • Lay a tortilla flat on your work surface.

   • Spread a quarter of the chicken-bacon mixture on one half of the tortilla.

   • Top with ½ cup of shredded cheddar cheese.

   • Fold the empty half over the filled side to create a half-moon shape.

3. Cook the Quesadillas:

   • Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add ½ tablespoon of olive oil or butter, letting it melt.

   • Place the assembled quesadilla in the pan and cook for 2–3 minutes until golden brown and crispy.

   • Carefully flip the quesadilla and cook for another 2 minutes until the cheese is fully melted.

   • Remove from the skillet and let it rest for a minute before slicing.

   • Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.

4. Serve:

   • Slice each quesadilla into wedges and serve with optional toppings such as sour cream, extra ranch dressing, sliced avocado, pico de gallo, or pickled jalapeños.
