Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken can be shredded rotisserie chicken
  • 1 cup buffalo sauce check for halal certification
  • 2 cups shredded cheese cheddar or mozzarella
  • 4 pieces flour tortillas
  • 2 tablespoons butter for cooking
Optional Toppings
  • sliced green onions
  • sour cream
  • halal ranch dressing

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken and buffalo sauce until the chicken is evenly coated.
  2. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Spread a little butter on one side of each tortilla.
Assembly and Cooking
  1. Place one tortilla, buttered side down, in the skillet. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese on top, followed by the buffalo chicken mixture. Add some more cheese on top and finish off with another tortilla, buttered side up.
  2. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottom tortilla is golden and crispy. Carefully flip the quesadilla over and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the other side is crispy and the cheese is melted.
Serving
  1. Remove from the skillet, slice into wedges, and serve with your choice of toppings like sour cream or green onions.

Notes

If you want a healthier option, swap out the flour tortillas for whole wheat or corn tortillas. A medium heat allows for perfect cooking every time. Don’t overload the quesadilla with too much filling as it can make flipping them a challenge. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
