Best Cheesy Buffalo Chicken Sheet Pan Quesadillas
An easy recipe for the best Cheesy Buffalo Chicken Sheet Pan Quesadillas with spicy chicken, melty cheese, and crispy tortillas.
Ingredients
- 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken breast meat
- 3/4 cup buffalo sauce
- 1 bell pepper any color
- 1/2 medium yellow onion
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 1/2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 6 medium flour tortillas
- non-stick cooking spray
Optional Toppings:
- Sour cream
- Guacamole
- Pico de gallo
- Salsa
- Blue cheese dressing
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Shred two cups of breast meat from the rotisserie chicken. You can use two forks or, if you are messy like me, your hands.
- Place the chicken in a large bowl.
- Pour 3/4 cup buffalo sauce over the shredded chicken and toss to combine.
- Prepare the veggies. Slice and chop 1/2 medium yellow onion. Cut the top off of the pepper, remove the membranes, and chop.
- Heat one tbsp of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the chopped onions and pepper and sauté, stirring occasionally. Cook until soft, about 2-3 minutes. If the onion starts to burn, turn the stove down to medium heat.
- Remove from the heat and aside.
- Spray one of the rimmed baking sheets with non-stick cooking spray.
- Place flour tortillas in the center of the pan in a square formation with the edges overlapping slightly.
- Sprinkle 1 1/2 cup of shredded cheese evenly over the tortillas.
- Lay the sautéed veggies evenly over the cheese.
- Use a slotted spoon to scoop the chicken and buffalo sauce over the cheese and veggies.
- Place two additional tortillas, with the edges overlapping, in the center of the chicken mixture.
- Lightly spray the two tortillas with non-stick cooking spray.
- Fold up the bottom tortillas over the top tortillas, top, bottom, and side. They may try to unfold, but that's OK. We will fix that in a second.
- Lightly spray all of the tortillas with non-stick cooking spray.
- Top the tortillas with aluminum foil. You may need to press the folded tortillas down with your hand.
- Top the aluminum foil with the second baking sheet. The bottom of the sheet will be pressed against the top of the tortillas.
- Bake for 20 minutes until the tortillas are slightly browned.
- Remover the baking sheet and the aluminum foil and continue to bake for 7-10 minutes until the quesadillas are evenly browned and crispy.
- Cut into the desired size and shape using a pizza cutter. CAUTION: The quesadilla mixture will be extremely hot.
- Serve with the toppings of your choice.
