The Primary Ingredients Needed to Prepare the Chicken Quesadillas
Besides the shredded chicken, you will only need a handful of other ingredients to make the Big Family Buffalo Chicken Quesadillas Sheet Pan Recipe. The other ingredients include flour tortillas, buffalo sauce, a packet of ranch dressing, shredded Monterey jack cheese, and dipping sauce.
If you are not sure how to shred your chicken into small pieces, consider adding it into a bowl and using a stand mixer or hand mixer. These mixers make it much easier to shred chicken into small pieces. If you do not have a mixer, you can use two forks, but it does take a bit more work to shred it down.
How to Make a Low Carb Version of the Buffalo Chicken Quesadillas
When you would like to make a low-carb version of these quesadillas, consider using low-carb tortillas. La Banderita and Mission are two brands that offer low-carb alternatives to traditional flour tortillas. These tortillas typically contain fewer carbs and calories, making this homemade dish even healthier for you. That’s perfect for THM meals and KETO recipes.
Different Dips You Can Serve With Chicken Quesadillas
Eat your Buffalo Chicken Quesadillas as they are or eat them with some of your favorite dips. Not sure what to use as a dip for quesadillas? Consider using blue cheese dressing, ranch dressing, or sour cream. Not only do these dips taste good, but they will also help to calm things down if the buffalo sauce gets a bit spicy for you.
What to Eat as a Side Dish to the Buffalo Chicken Quesadillas
Serve some simple sides with your Big Family Buffalo Chicken Quesadillas to keep yourself feeling full for hours. You can serve a side of fresh celery sticks, cut carrots, or if you want something sweet make one of my make-ahead cookies. Besides those ideas, you might want to prepare Cheesy Asparagus, air fryer apple fries, or Southwestern Quinoa. A baked potato would also taste great with these quesadillas. If you prefer to keep it healthy, choose some fresh grapes or a layered spring salad.
How to Save a Chicken Quesadilla to Eat Later
Wrap your quesadilla in aluminum foil and store it in your refrigerator for up to three days. When you need to reheat the quesadilla, remove the foil, put it on a microwave-safe plate, and reheat it for about one minute. If you do not want to use a microwave to reheat it, you can put it in the toaster oven, air fryer, or conventional oven for several minutes to make it taste even better.
