Ingredients
  

Quesadilla filling and cooking
  • 2 cup cooked chicken shredded
  • 0.5 cup BBQ sauce
  • 2 tbsp hot honey or honey with hot sauce
  • 8 flour tortillas large
  • 3 cup shredded cheese cheddar and monterey jack
  • 0.25 red onion diced
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 sour cream for dipping
  • 1 ranch for dipping
  • 1 fresh cilantro for garnish

Equipment

  • 1 cast iron skillet

Method
 

Make the hot honey BBQ chicken
  1. Toss shredded cooked chicken with BBQ sauce and half the hot honey until evenly coated.
  2. Set the mixture aside while you heat the griddle.
Griddle the quesadillas
  1. Heat a Blackstone griddle to medium heat and butter the surface.
  2. Place 4 flour tortillas on the griddle and sprinkle with shredded cheese in an even layer.
  3. Add BBQ chicken with diced red onion over the cheese, leaving a little cheese visible at the edges.
  4. Top with remaining cheese and the remaining 4 flour tortillas, then press down gently to help everything stick together.
  5. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden and the cheese is fully melted.
Cut and serve
  1. Remove the quesadillas from the griddle and drizzle with the remaining hot honey.
  2. Cut into wedges and serve immediately with sour cream, ranch, and fresh cilantro for garnish.

Notes

Pro tip: don’t rush the pressing—gentle, steady pressure helps the tortillas seal so the filling stays inside when you cut. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days; reheat on the griddle or in a skillet over medium-low until warmed through. Freezing is not recommended because tortillas can soften and cheeses may separate after thawing. For a lower-carb swap, use large keto tortillas (check melting/heat instructions on the package) and keep the rest the same.
