Description

These BBQ Chicken Quesadillas are a deliciously quick and easy meal made with tender shredded chicken, tangy BBQ sauce, melty cheese, and crisp tortillas. Perfect for lunch, dinner, or a party appetizer, these cheesy quesadillas deliver bold BBQ flavor in every bite.


Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded

  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce (choose your favorite brand)

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

  • 1/4 cup chopped red onions

  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional)

  • 4 large flour tortillas

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter (for grilling)

  • Sour cream or salsa for serving (optional)


Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, combine shredded chicken and BBQ sauce until the chicken is evenly coated.

  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with olive oil or butter.

  • Place a tortilla flat on the skillet, and sprinkle one half with a mix of cheddar and mozzarella cheese.

  • Add BBQ chicken, then top with chopped red onions and cilantro.

  • Fold the tortilla in half to form a half-moon.

  • Cook for 2–3 minutes per side until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

  • Repeat with remaining ingredients.

  • Slice into wedges and serve with sour cream or salsa if desired.


Notes

  • For a spicier twist, add sliced jalapeños or use a spicy BBQ sauce.

  • These can also be baked in the oven at 400°F for about 8 minutes per side.
