Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Hot Sauce
  • ½ cup Salted Butter (1 stick)
  • teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 pound Chicken Breasts (cubed)
  • ¼ teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • ¼ teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
  • ¼ cup Buffalo Sauce (from above)
  • 2 tablespoons Ranch Dressing
  • 4 large Flour Tortillas
  • 2 cups Shredded Mexican Cheese
  • Sour Cream
  • Fresh Cilantro

Equipment

  • Cast Iron Skillet
  • Grill Pan

Method
 

  1. In a small saucepan, combine the hot sauce, salted butter, and garlic powder over medium heat. Simmer for 1 minute, then remove from the heat and set aside.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet set over medium-high heat. Add in the cubed chicken breasts and cook through. Stir in the kosher salt, black pepper, Buffalo sauce, and ranch dressing.
  3. Spoon the mixture evenly over the flour tortillas, keeping it on only one-half of each tortilla. Top evenly with the shredded Mexican cheese and fold each tortilla in half.
  4. Heat a grill pan over medium heat. Brush with olive oil and place the quesadilla on the grill. Cook until golden and the cheese is melted, about 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook for 1 to 2 more minutes.
  5. Serve with sour cream, fresh cilantro, and more Buffalo sauce if desired.

Notes

  • Add more hot sauce: If you like spicy food, or use less if you prefer a milder flavor.
  • Don’t overcrowd the skillet: Too many in the pan at once will stop the tortillas from getting crispy.
