Ingredients
  

For the Chicken Filling
  • 2 cups shredded chicken Use leftovers or rotisserie chicken
  • 1/4 cup BBQ sauce Choose your favorite brand
  • 2 tablespoons hot honey For a sweet heat twist
For the Quesadilla Assembly
  • 2 large flour tortillas Corn tortillas can be used for gluten-free
  • 1 cup colby jack cheese Substitute with cheddar for more bite
  • 1/4 cup purple onion Thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro Omit or replace with parsley if not a fan

  • 2 tablespoons additional BBQ sauce For drizzling
  • 1/2 cup sour cream For dipping
  • 1/2 cup guacamole For dipping

Equipment

  • Microwave

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Mix the shredded chicken with ¼ cup of BBQ sauce in a small bowl. Warm it in the microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute, until heated through and fragrant.
  2. Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the two large flour tortillas on the skillet, ready for the filling.
  3. Sprinkle ½ cup of colby jack cheese on one side of each tortilla, spreading it to the edges.
  4. Layer each tortilla with ½ of the warm chicken mixture, followed by ½ of the sliced purple onion and ½ of the chopped cilantro. Optionally, drizzle some hot honey and BBQ sauce.
  5. Top with the remaining cheese, then fold each tortilla in half. Cook until golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Flip the quesadilla carefully and finish cooking on the other side until golden brown, another 2-3 minutes.
  7. Slice the quesadillas into wedges and serve warm with any additional BBQ sauce on the side, optionally with sour cream or guacamole.
