Description
These Hot Honey BBQ Chicken Quesadillas balance sweet heat, smoky BBQ, and melty cheese for a fast, satisfying meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
- 2 tablespoons hot honey
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or a blend)
- 1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- Olive oil or cooking spray for grilling
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with BBQ sauce and hot honey. Stir until well coated. Taste and add a pinch of salt or extra hot honey if desired.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with olive oil or cooking spray. Place one tortilla in the skillet and layer with a portion of the chicken mixture, cheese, red onion, and cilantro. Top with another tortilla, pressing gently to flatten.
- Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until the cheese is melted and the tortillas are golden brown.
- Remove from the skillet, cut into wedges, and serve hot. Let the quesadilla rest 1 minute before slicing to keep the filling from spilling out.
Notes
Serve with sides like sour cream, guacamole, or pickled jalapeños. Ideal for weeknight dinners, game-day snacks, or parties.
