  • Cuisine: American

Ingredients

  • 8 gluten-free tortillas (such as Mission or Siete)
  • 3 cups cooked and shredded chicken breast (about 1 lb)
  • 8 oz shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • BBQ sauce, to taste

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine shredded chicken with BBQ sauce. Set aside.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and lightly spray with nonstick spray.
  3. Place one tortilla in the skillet. Layer with a handful of cheese, 1/4 of the BBQ chicken, and another sprinkle of cheese. Top with a second tortilla.
  4. Cook until the bottom is golden brown, about 3–4 minutes, then flip and cook the other side until golden and the cheese has melted.
  5. Transfer to a cooling rack and repeat with remaining ingredients.
  6. Slice into wedges and serve with extra BBQ sauce for dipping.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add caramelized onions, jalapeños, or hot sauce.
  • Use any cheese you like—Monterey Jack, mozzarella, or gouda work well.
  • Make smaller quesadillas by folding one tortilla in half instead of stacking two.
  • To reheat, use a skillet or toaster oven for best crispiness.
