Ingredients

3 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into small pieces
1 medium onion, diced
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 teaspoon Slap Ya Mama seasoning
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon pepper
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
4 ounce diced green chilies
⅓ cup chipotle ranch dressing
⅓ cup avocado ranch dressing
2 cups Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
2 cups Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
8 flour tortillas, burrito size
1 tablespoon butter

Instructions

Heat oil in a frying pan or large skillet over medium heat.
Add chicken and onions into the pan, sprinkle with Slap Ya Mama seasoning, garlic powder, cumin, pepper and red pepper flakes. Stir and cook until chicken is cooked and onions are translucent.
Pour diced green chilies, chipotle ranch and avocado ranch dressing into the pan, stir until combined and continue cooking for a few more minutes.
In another frying pan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter and place a tortilla into the pan and heat one side then flip over and add chicken mixture on one half of the tortilla.
Next, add both types of cheese on top of chicken, fold the tortilla over and fry until golden.
Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and chicken mixture.
Remove from pan, place on a plate.
Cut into wedges right before serving.
Top with your favorite toppings like sour cream, green onions, cilantro and avocado.

Notes

Be sure not to overcook your chicken. The bite-sized pieces will be perfectly cooked just about the time the onions are translucent.

Fry your tortillas over medium heat so they get nice and hot on the inside without burning on the outside.

Be sure that you don't overfill your quesadillas. You want all that delicious filling to stay inside the quesadillas!
