Ingredients
For the Buffalo Sauce:
- 1 cup Frank’s RedHot hot sauce
- ½ cup salted butter
- ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
For the Quesadilla:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound chicken breasts cut into small 3/4-inch pieces (about 2 breasts)
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- ¼ cup buffalo sauce above
- 2 tablespoons ranch dressing
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese
- sour cream and cilantro for serving
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine the hot sauce, butter, and garlic over medium heat. Simmer for 1 minute, remove from the heat and set aside.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add in the chicken and cook until browned on all sides and no longer pink in the middle. Stir in the salt, pepper, buffalo sauce, and ranch dressing. Spoon ¼ of the mixture onto one half of a tortilla. Top with ¼ of the cheese and fold in half.
- Heat a grill pan to medium heat. Brush with olive oil and place the quesadilla on the grill. Cook until golden and the cheese is melted, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook 1-2 more minutes.
- Serve with sour cream, cilantro, and more buffalo sauce.
