Instructions

Melt cheese and layer

Start by heating a skillet over medium-high heat. Once it's hot, lay a tortilla in the pan and sprinkle a good amount of Oaxaca cheese on top. Drizzle some Buffalo sauce and ranch dressing over the cheese. Then, pile the chicken on one half of the tortilla. Let it cook for a couple of minutes until the cheese starts to melt.

Cook and Slice Quesadilla

Next, fold the tortilla over to cover the filling. Carefully flip it and cook for about 3 more minutes, until both sides are nicely golden and crispy. When it’s done, take it off the heat and cut the quesadilla into four wedges. Serve warm and enjoy!

Serving Suggestions

Serve with a side of ranch or blue cheese dressing to balance the heat. A fresh salad or some crunchy celery sticks make a great refreshing contrast. You can also offer guacamole or sour cream for added creaminess.

Storage Tips

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm in a skillet over low heat to keep the quesadilla crispy, or use a microwave for a quicker option, though it may be softer. Avoid freezing, as the texture may change.
