    Are you a fan of buffalo chicken wings and quesadillas? Then you'll absolutely love buffalo chicken quesadillas! This delicious dish combines the spicy flavor of buffalo chicken with the cheesy goodness of quesadillas, creating a mouth-watering and satisfying meal that's perfect for any occasion.

    At the store last weekend, I bought 2 rotisserie chickens. They were on sale 2 for $10. There's so many different chicken dishes using rotisserie chicken that you can make and this is one of them. I've also made buffalo chicken wraps, using the same method that I made the chicken fajita rollups with. I love Frank's hot sauce, but the stuff gives me major heart burn and I only will eat it every once and while. If you love buffalo chicken anything then give this a try. Add in some pineapples with it. I know that sounds crazy, but there's this pita that I like getting at the Pita Pit called the Loco and they put pineapple in it with buffalo chicken. OMG, that is so sooooooo good!

    Last night, I had made a buffalo chicken wrap and I was wearing a white shirt. Guess what happened? I spilled on my white shirt which was fairly new by the way. That is the main reason I refuse to wear white, because I know I'll spill on it. There's these cute pair of white jeans, that I want to get but I probably won't for that reason. 😉

    Why You Will Like This Recipe

    Canned chicken or already-cooked rotisserie chicken will help you make these quesadillas pretty fast and under 20 minutes.

    If you're looking for a healthier version of buffalo chicken quesadillas, you can use whole wheat tortillas, reduced-fat cheese, and grilled chicken instead of fried. You can also add more veggies to the mix, such as bell peppers, onions, or mushrooms. This will add more nutrients and fiber to the dish, while still keeping it delicious and satisfying.

    Ingredients Needed

    • 1 high fiber low carb tortilla such as Ole Extreme Wellness or La Banderita
    • Canned chicken - or any cooked shredded chicken
    • Whipped cream cheese - I like whipped cream cheese because it's easier to spread and be mixed in a bowl.
    • Buffalo wings sauce such as frank’s
    • Reduced fat cheddar cheese 
    • Cooking Spray

    How to Make Buffalo Chicken Quesadillas

    Step 1: Spray a non-stick pan with cooking spray.

    Step 2: In a medium sauce pan over medium low heat, add the chopped cooked chicken cream cheese, cheese, and sauce. Cook for 2 to 4 min until everything is melted and heated through.

    Step 3: Place the tortilla in the middle of the skillet and layer the chicken mixture on top of the chicken. Fold the tortilla over the chicken and cheese. Cook until tortilla is golden brown on one side and flip and cook the other side until done.

    What to serve with Quesadillas?

    Once your buffalo chicken quesadillas are ready, you can serve them hot with your choice of toppings.

    We love diced tomatoes, avocado, and sour cream, but you can also add shredded lettuce, jalapenos, or any other toppings you'd like.

    These quesadillas are perfect for a quick and easy lunch or dinner, and they're also great for parties and gatherings.
