These Chicken Bacon Ranch Quesadillas are the bomb! Shredded rotisserie chicken, melty cheddar cheese, crispy bacon, and creamy ranch dressing. Perfect for a quick, simple, unbelievably delicious dinner.

this …

The words chicken, bacon, cheese and ranch dressing all in one sentence spell out deliciousness. We’re kind of all obsessed with the flavor combination in case you couldn’t tell from this recipe and this one.

I figured if I’ve made pizza bread and sliders with this amazing flavor combination, why not make quesadillas? These are simple to throw together, and the best part is you don’t even have to turn your oven on. 

These quesadillas are one of those “not really a recipe” kind of recipe. Make sense? I’ve given amounts for the ingredients, but you can absolutely add more or less of any of the ingredients. Just sprinkle on whatever amount of each looks good to you as you’re building your quesadilla.

HOW TO MAKE CHICKEN BACON RANCH QUESADILLAS:

  1. Start by placing one tortilla on your cutting board.
  2. Sprinkle it evenly with cheddar cheese, then the shredded chicken, crumbled crispy bacon, and diced green onions (if ya want). Then finish it off with a drizzle of ranch dressing and a little more grated cheese.
  3. Make sure everything is spread evenly so that you have all that goodness in every single bite.
  4. Top it with another flour tortilla and spread butter over the entire top tortilla.
  5. Heat a large fry pan over medium heat and some butter. Use a spatula to carefully place the quesadilla in the pan and cook it until it’s golden brown on the bottom and the cheese has begun to melt. 
  6. Carefully flip the quesadilla and cook until the other side is crispy and golden and all the cheese has melted.
  7. Remove from pan and place on a cutting board and let sit for a minute or two before cutting into wedges.

Just look at all those layers of yumminess.

STORE BOUGHT VS. HOMEMADE RANCH DRESSING

This one is easy for me. . . homemade all the way. While I love other bottled salad dressings, I would take homemade ranch dressing any day over bottled. But if you’re fine with bottled ranch, then use it. I use the Hidden Valley Ranch packets to make mine and always use buttermilk. There really is no comparison . . . homemade all the way baby.

Easy. Simple. Delicious.

Now go make these!

Pin Recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large flour tortillas
  • 2 – 2 1/2 cups shredded cheddar (or more if you need it)
  • 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken (or cook and shred your own)
  • 8 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 2 green onions, chopped (optional, I use mostly the green part)
  • Ranch dressing (I prefer homemade)
  • Butter

Garnishes/Dips

  • Ranch dressing
  • Sour Cream
  • Guacamole

Instructions

  • Place a tortilla on a cutting board and sprinkle generously with grated cheese. Top with shredded chicken, crumbled bacon, green onion (if using) and then drizzle with ranch dressing. Sprinkle with some more cheddar cheese and place another tortilla on top. Butter the top of the tortilla
  • In a large fry pan, turn the heat to medium and add butter. Once butter begins to melt, swirl the butter around to coat the pan and add the quesadilla, unbuttered side down.
  • Cook for 2-4 minutes on one side until crispy and golden on the bottom, and the cheese has started to melt. Carefully flip the quesadilla and cook for another 2-3 minutes or until all the cheese has melted and the tortilla is crispy and golden.
  • Repeat the process for the remaining ingredients.
  • Serve with more ranch dressing, sour cream, guacamole, etc.
  • Prep Time: 10 mins
