- In a pan, melt butter over medium heat.
- Add shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Stir until everything is evenly coated and heated through.
- Reduce heat and let the mixture thicken slightly so it doesn’t make the quesadilla soggy.

- Heat a pan over medium heat and add a little oil or butter.
- Place one tortilla in the pan.
- Sprinkle cheese over half the tortilla.
- Add a generous layer of buffalo chicken filling.
- Sprinkle more cheese on top—this helps seal it shut.
- Fold the tortilla in half.
- Cook Until Crispy
- Cook for 2–3 minutes on each side, pressing down gently with a spatula.
- Tortilla should be golden brown and cheese fully melted.
- Repeat with remaining tortillas.
