Buffalo Chicken Quesadillas Recipe
Buffalo chicken quesadillas provide an incredibly easy way to serve quick dinners with tremendous flavor impact using spicy buffalo chicken and melted cheese. These comfort food favorites combine the beloved flavors of buffalo chicken wings with convenient quesadilla format for handheld satisfaction. You don't need any special techniques to create these crowd-pleasing quesadillas that deliver restaurant-quality buffalo flavors with minimal effort and maximum convenience.
Buffalo chicken quesadillas are an easy way to serve a quick dinner with a lot of flavor! You do not need to use oil or butter to toast each side of the quesadilla, but you can if you like. I prefer a dry heat. Tortillas made with a corn-flour mixture work best. Serve them with either Buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, or sour cream!

Ingredients
1 pound chicken tenders
½ tablespoon olive oil
1 shallot, diced
2 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature
¼ cup ranch dressing
⅛ cup Buffalo sauce
salt and ground black pepper to taste
½ cup shredded Gouda cheese
½ (1 inch) cube Colby-Jack cheese, shredded
8 (6 inch) tortillas, or more as needed
Directions
Place chicken tenders in a medium pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce temperature to medium-low; simmer until chicken tenders are cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain; transfer tenders to a cutting board and cut or shred as desired.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook shallot until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Combine cream cheese, ranch dressing, Buffalo sauce, and cooked shallots in a bowl until creamy. Stir in chicken; season with salt and black pepper.
Spread some Buffalo chicken mixture on 1 tortilla; top with some Gouda and Colby-Jack cheeses. Cover with a second tortilla; set aside. Repeat with remaining tortillas, chicken mixture, and cheeses.
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add 1 quesadilla; cook until browned on 1 side, about 3 minutes. Carefully flip; cook until tortilla is crisp and cheese melted, about 3 minutes more. Repeat with remaining quesadillas.
