    Chicken Quesadillas made on the Blackstone are crispy tortillas filled with chicken and cheese on the inside. A delicious meal for Taco Tuesday or Mexican night! These can also be made Weight Watcher friendly.

    I love Mexican Food like these chicken quesadillas because they are so versatile to make. When I was in my teens, my first job was working at Taco John's. Taco John's is a Mid West restaurant that serves Potato Ole's and they are the bomb. I have made my own potato oles before using my air fryer. I get the Crispy Crown potatoes and air fry them for 12 minutes and then season them with some all-purpose seasoning.

    I love adding different types of condiments to the middle of quesadillas like Taco Bell Hot Sauce or their Chipotle sauce.

    Additionally, chicken quesadillas are relatively easy to make, making them a great option for a quick and delicious meal. So, whether you're in the mood for a snack or a full meal, chicken quesadillas are a great choice that is sure to satisfy your cravings!

    Ingredients Needed Blackstone Quesadillas

    Ingredients for Blackstone Chicken Quesadillas.
    • Flour tortillas - I really like these Carb Counter or Ole Extreme Welness Tortillas
    • 2 to 3 teaspoons of fajita seasoning
    • Reduced-Fat Cheese has a lower calorie count and less saturated fat than regular cheese, but it may also have a different taste and texture. It also helps with keeping the calorie count pretty low for this recipe. 
    • Cooked Chicken breasts - They’re lean and quick-cooking and always come out juicy and tender. Use an instant-read thermometer to make sure that the chicken is not over cooked.  When reading labels for chicken breasts try to find ones that say Organic or Free Range. You can get a rotisserie chicken and shred that up or use bag s of precooked grilled chicken.
    • See the recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and measurements.

    Substitution Tips

    • Chicken: Use rotisserie chicken, Easy Blackstone Chicken Breasts (Griddle Recipe), grilled chicken, or swap with ground turkey or beans for a vegetarian version
    • Tortillas: Sub in low-carb, whole wheat, or WW-friendly tortillas to reduce points
    • Cheese: Use reduced-fat shredded cheese or part-skim mozzarella to lighten it up
    • Add-ins: Sneak in spinach, corn, black beans, or any leftover veggies
    • Sauce: Mix in a spoonful of Greek yogurt, salsa, or light cream cheese into the chicken for a creamy twist

    How to Make Blackstone Chicken Quesadillas

    Step 1: Place a tortilla onto the blackstone and sprinkle with shredded cheese one side of the tortilla. Add a scoop of the chicken.

    Step 2: Cook the quesadilla for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the cheese is melted and the tortillas are crispy.

    Repeat with the remaining tortillas, chicken and, and cheese.

    Serve the quesadillas with salsa, sour cream, and guacamole for dipping.

    Serving Suggestions

    • Serve with Smoked Salsa, The Best Damn Guacamole Ever, or Greek yogurt for dipping
    • Pair with griddled corn, black beans, or Mexican cauliflower rice
    • Add a side salad with lime vinaigrette for a balanced plate
    • Make a “quesadilla platter” with multiple fillings for a family-style meal or party

    Recipe FAQs

    What cheese is best for quesadillas?

    Cheddar, Monterey Jack, or Mexican blend melt beautifully. For a WW option, try reduced-fat cheddar or part-skim mozzarella.

    Can I make quesadillas in the air fryer?

    Yes, you can definitely make quesadillas in the air fryer! In fact, using an air fryer to cook quesadillas is a great way to get them crispy and evenly cooked. Here's how you can do it. Place the cheese and chicken inside the quesadilla and fold it over. Lay the quesadilla down in the air fryer basket. Set the timer to 375 and cook it for 6 to 8 minutes. Use cooking spray to get it nice and crispy.

    Can I freeze chicken quesadillas?

    You can! Assemble and freeze before cooking, then cook from frozen on the griddle or in a pan—just lower the heat slightly and cook longer.

      7 PP was on the old Weight Watcher system before it was Points Plus. I haven't had the chance to update any of the older recipes, so sorry this was wrong.

      7 points for 2 whole quesadillas is wrong. Each tortilla is 2 pts, cheese is 4 pts for 1 cup, and each chicken breast is 3 pts. So that's 9 pts per quesadilla without adding extra condiments such as sour cream or avocado.

      All of it.

      Is it just for one person?
      7 points for all of it?
