Ingredients

  • Large Flour Tortillas
  • Shredded Rotisserie Chicken
  • BBQ Sauce
  • Bacon
  • Sharp Cheddar Cheese
  • Red Onion
  • Fresh Cilantro
  • Butter
  • Kosher Salt


Instructions

  • Mix chicken and BBQ sauce in a bowl until well-coated.
  • Heat a skillet and melt butter, then add a tortilla.
  • Layer with BBQ chicken, bacon, cheddar, onion, and cilantro; fold tortilla.
  • Cook until golden brown on both sides and cheese is melted.
  • Keep warm in the oven while preparing the next quesadilla; slice and serve immediately.

Notes

For a lighter version, use turkey bacon or omit bacon altogether.
Allow tortillas to reach room temperature before filling to prevent cracking.
For added flavor, mix in jalapeños with the BBQ sauce.
