This BBQ Chicken Quesadillas recipe combines tender shredded chicken with tangy BBQ sauce and sharp cheddar cheese, all melted inside crispy gluten-free tortillas for a delicious and easy meal. Perfect for a quick lunch or dinner, these quesadillas fuse smoky and cheesy flavors in a handheld delight suitable for gluten-sensitive diners.

Ingredients

Scale

Quesadillas

  • 8 gluten-free tortillas (such as Mission or Siete brands)
  • 3 cups cooked and shredded chicken breast (~1 lb pre-cooked weight)
  • 8 oz shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • BBQ sauce (about ½ cup, adjust to taste)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: In a bowl, mix the shredded chicken breast with enough BBQ sauce to coat the chicken evenly but not too saucy to avoid soggy tortillas.
  2. Assemble the Quesadilla: Lay one gluten-free tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a portion of the BBQ chicken mixture evenly over half of the tortilla. Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded sharp cheddar cheese over the chicken, then fold the tortilla in half to cover the filling.
  3. Cook the Quesadilla: Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the folded quesadilla on the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the tortilla is crispy and golden brown and the cheese is fully melted. Adjust heat as necessary to prevent burning.
  4. Repeat: Repeat the assembly and cooking process with the remaining tortillas and filling until all quesadillas are cooked.
  5. Serve: Once cooked, cut each quesadilla into wedges and serve warm, with extra BBQ sauce on the side if desired.

Notes

  • Use gluten-free tortillas to keep the dish gluten-free.
  • Adjust the amount of BBQ sauce based on your preferred level of sauciness.
  • For extra flavor, add sliced onions or bell peppers to the chicken mixture before cooking.
  • Use a non-stick skillet to avoid sticking and easy flipping.
  • Leftover quesadillas can be reheated in a skillet to retain crispiness.
