Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce check for Halal compliance
  • 2 cups shredded cheese cheddar and mozzarella work best
  • 4 large flour tortillas make sure they are Halal certified
  • 1/4 cup green onions chopped, optional
  • 1/4 cup ranch dressing or yogurt optional, for serving
  • Olive oil for cooking

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken with the buffalo sauce until well coated.
  2. Take a large skillet and drizzle a little olive oil over medium heat. Allow it to heat up for a minute or two.
  3. Place one tortilla in the hot skillet and sprinkle half of it with a generous amount of cheese. Spoon your buffalo chicken mixture on top, followed by a sprinkle of any additional toppings like green onions. Then, fold the tortilla over, creating a half-moon shape.
  4. Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side or until crispy and golden brown. Carefully flip the quesadilla using a spatula and cook the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes.
  5. Once cooked, remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it rest for a minute. Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to slice into wedges. Serve with ranch dressing or yogurt on the side for dipping.

Notes

For a vegetarian version, substitute shredded chicken with sautéed vegetables. Ensure to pre-heat the skillet for optimal crispiness. Avoid overcrowding the skillet and cook in batches if needed.
