Ingredients

For the Quesadillas

3 cups shredded cooked chicken Rotisserie chicken works well
4 large flour tortillas Burrito-size
2 cups shredded cheese blend Monterey Jack and Cheddar mix
4 tbsp butter For frying

For the Hot Honey BBQ Sauce

1/2 cup BBQ sauce
1/4 cup honey
1-2 tbsp hot sauce Adjust to your preferred spice level

Equipment

1 Large Skillet
1 Mixing Bowl
1 Spatula

Instructions

In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, BBQ sauce, honey, and hot sauce. Mix until the chicken is fully coated.
Lay a tortilla flat. Sprinkle cheese over one half of the tortilla. Top with the hot honey BBQ chicken mixture, then add another layer of cheese. Fold the other half of the tortilla over the filling.
Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the quesadilla in the pan and cook for 2-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
Remove from the skillet, let it cool for a minute, then slice into wedges. Serve immediately with your favorite dips.

Notes

Tip 1: For the best flavor and melt, shred your own cheese from a block.
Tip 2: Don't overcrowd the pan. Cook one quesadilla at a time to ensure it gets perfectly crispy.
Tip 3: Feel free to add cooked bacon, black beans, or corn to the filling for extra flavor and texture.
