Description

A crispy, golden quesadilla filled with creamy ranch-seasoned chicken and melted mozzarella, packed with protein and ready in just 20 minutes. Perfect for a quick lunch or satisfying dinner.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (about 300 grams)
  • 4 large flour tortillas (8-inch)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (about 120 grams)
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (about 120 grams)
  • 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning mix (about 10 grams)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (about 15 milliliters)


Instructions

  1. Preheat a large skillet over medium heat for about 2 minutes.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, Greek yogurt, and ranch seasoning mix until evenly coated.
  3. Add 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet and spread evenly.
  4. Lay one tortilla flat, spread a portion of the chicken mixture over half, sprinkle with mozzarella cheese, and fold into a half moon shape.
  5. Place in the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden brown and the cheese is melted. Repeat with remaining tortillas and oil.
  6. Remove from heat and let rest for 1 minute before slicing into wedges.
  7. Serve warm and enjoy.

Notes

  • Cook over medium heat to prevent burning before the cheese melts.
  • Do not overfill to make flipping easier.
  • Reheat leftovers in a skillet to keep them crispy.
