Ingredients

  • 1/4 c bacon bits
  • 8 oz cooked chicken shredded or finely diced
  • 4 8-inch flour tortillas
  • 2 c shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 c ranch dressing
  • 2 green onions sliced

Instructions

Prepare the tortillas.

  • Place the tortillas on a baking sheet.

Add the first layer of cheese.

  • Divide half of the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over one side of each open tortilla.

Add the bacon and chicken.

  • Sprinkle the bacon bits evenly over the cheese, then layer the cooked chicken on top.

Add the ranch and green onions.

  • Drizzle approximately 1 tablespoon of ranch dressing over the chicken on each tortilla. Sprinkle the sliced green onions evenly over the top.

Add the remaining cheese.

  • Divide the remaining cheddar cheese evenly among the quesadillas.

Fold the tortillas.

  • Fold each tortilla over the filling and lightly press to help them stay closed.

Prepare the broiler.

  • Preheat the broiler to 500°F and position the oven rack 5 to 6 inches below the broiler.

Broil the first side.

  • Broil the quesadillas until the top side is crispy and golden in spots. This should take only a few minutes, so monitor them closely.

Broil the second side.

  • Carefully flip the quesadillas and broil the opposite side until crispy and golden.

Slice and serve.

  • Remove from the oven, slice each quesadilla in half, and serve with additional ranch dressing on the side if desired.

Notes

To make these Chicken Bacon Ranch Quesadillas gluten free, replace the flour tortillas with certified gluten-free tortillas and confirm that the bacon bits, ranch dressing, cooked chicken, and shredded cheese are all certified gluten free or free from hidden gluten-containing additives. If using leftover or store-bought cooked chicken, check that it has not been seasoned or marinated with gluten-containing ingredients.
