Spicy Buffalo Chicken Quesadillas Recipe for Game Day Snacks

These Buffalo Chicken Quesadillas are quick, flavorful, and simple to prepare. They make a fantastic appetizer for game day, a fast lunch, or an easy weeknight dinner after practices and busy days. Using leftover cooked chicken or a store-bought rotisserie chicken makes this recipe even faster.

You will need:

2 cups shredded cooked chicken

½ cup Frank’s Hot Wing Sauce

2 green onions, chopped

3 tablespoons sour cream

1 teaspoon dry Ranch seasoning

5 large flour tortillas

Shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese

Olive oil

Preparation:

1. In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken, sour cream, Ranch seasoning, and chopped green onions. Mix until evenly coated.

2. Stir in the hot wing sauce to taste, ensuring the chicken is well coated.

3. Heat a medium skillet over medium heat and add a bit of olive oil to coat the pan.

4. Place one flour tortilla in the skillet and spread a portion of the chicken mixture over half of the tortilla. Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese on top.

5. Fold the tortilla in half to enclose the filling and cook for about 2 minutes, or until the underside is golden and crisp.

6. Flip the quesadilla and cook another 2 minutes, until the cheese is melted and both sides are nicely browned.

7. Transfer to a cutting board and slice each quesadilla into three triangular wedges.

To serve, garnish with chopped cilantro, extra green onions, or a dollop of sour cream if desired. These quesadillas are best served hot and make an ideal finger food for gatherings or a convenient, satisfying meal any night of the week.

Notes: Use rotisserie or leftover chicken to save time. Adjust the amount of hot sauce to control the heat level. Serve with extra ranch or blue cheese dressing on the side for dipping if you like.
