Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 4 large flour tortillas
- Olive oil for cooking
- Sour cream for serving
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 2 cups of cooked shredded chicken, 1 cup of BBQ sauce, 1 cup of shredded cheese, 4 large flour tortillas, olive oil for cooking, and sour cream for serving.
- In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken with the BBQ sauce. Mix well until the chicken is evenly coated with the sauce.
- Lay out the flour tortillas on a clean surface. Divide the BBQ chicken mixture evenly among the tortillas, placing it on one half of each tortilla.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the BBQ chicken on each tortilla. You can adjust the amount of cheese according to your preference.
- Fold the tortillas in half, covering the filling, to create a half-moon shape. Press down gently to seal the edges.
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil to coat the bottom of the pan.
- Once the oil is hot, carefully place the folded quesadillas in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Using a spatula, carefully flip the quesadillas and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side, ensuring the cheese melts and the tortillas are crispy.
- Once cooked, remove the quesadillas from the skillet and let them rest for a minute before cutting.
- Cut each quesadilla into wedges and serve warm with sour cream on the side for dipping.
- Enjoy your delicious Camping BBQ Chicken Quesadillas with friends or family!
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time, shred your chicken and mix it with BBQ sauce in advance. This way, when you’re ready to cook, all you need to do is assemble the quesadillas!
- Customize Your Cheese: Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese such as pepper jack for a spicy kick or a blend of cheeses for extra flavor.
- Add Veggies: For added nutrition and flavor, consider adding sautéed onions, bell peppers, or even corn to the filling.
- Keep It Crispy: Make sure your skillet is hot enough before adding the quesadillas to ensure a perfectly crispy exterior. A little olive oil goes a long way!
- Serve with Style: Don’t forget the dipping options! In addition to sour cream, try serving with guacamole or a zesty salsa for a flavorful twist.
