Make these easy buffalo chicken quesadillas for a quick, cheesy weeknight dinner or game day appetizer. You get bold buffalo flavor and crispy tortillas every time.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (leftover or rotisserie chicken works well)
  • 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 8 large flour tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack or Mexican blend cheese
  • Cooking spray or 2 tablespoons butter for pan
  • For Serving: Ranch or Blue Cheese dressing

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken and buffalo wing sauce. Mix until the chicken is fully coated.
  2. In a separate small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt until smooth. Stir this mixture into the buffalo chicken until combined. This creates the creamy base for your cheesy buffalo chicken quesadillas.
  3. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly coat the surface with cooking spray or melt 1 tablespoon of butter.
  4. Place one tortilla on the hot skillet. Sprinkle one-quarter of the shredded cheese over one half of the tortilla.
  5. Spoon one-quarter of the buffalo chicken mixture evenly over the cheese layer.
  6. Fold the empty half of the tortilla over the filling to create a half-moon shape.
  7. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, pressing down gently with a spatula, until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy and the cheese is fully melted.
  8. Remove the first quesadilla and keep it warm. Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to make three more quesadillas.
  9. Cut each quesadilla into wedges and serve immediately with your favorite ranch dipping sauce or blue cheese dressing.

Notes

  • For extra crispy buffalo chicken quesadillas, use slightly less filling so the tortilla seals better during cooking.
  • If you have leftover Buffalo Chicken Dip, you can substitute it directly for the mixed chicken and cream cheese mixture.
  • Use a blend of cheeses like Colby Jack and sharp cheddar for deeper flavor in your melty cheese quesadillas.
