BUFFALO CHICKEN QUESADILLAS
This is an easy way to serve up a quick dinner with a lot of flavor! No need to use oil or butter to toast each side of the quesadilla, but you can if you'd like. I prefer a dry heat. Tortillas made with a corn-flour mixture work best. Serve with either Buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, or sour cream!

This is from the Cooks Country magazine. The flavor combination of the blue cheese, celery, and hot sauce is perfect. I added just a few more dashes of hot sauce to the chicken after I shredded it to make it a little more spicy.

BUFFALO CHICKEN QUESADILLAS
This recipe came about when I was craving hot wings but did not have chicken wings in the house. This is all about personal taste, so use as little or as much as you like!! I personally serve this with ranch dressing. This can be modified to be as hot or mild as you like.

Steps:
- 1. Cut up left over chicken in to bite size pieces. Add chicken to hot sauce and let sit at least 5 minutes. This is awesome if you make a larger batch and leave in refrigerator to use at a later date.
- 2. Heat stove top to medium high heat using a non stick 8- inch or larger skillet. If you have a pan without sides that is even better.
- 3. Put one flour tortilla in the skillet, add chicken and cheese on top and cover with second flour tortilla. Let cook on each side until crispy, about 2 minutes or so.
- 4. Flip over carefully to avoid losing the mixture inside and cook on other side for about 2 minutes or so. Stove tops vary in temperature so it may cook faster or slower depending on your stove top. When brown on both sides, remove from pan on to plate and cut into quarters. Serve with ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing.

Steps:
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. In a medium bowl, mix together chicken and hot sauce until chicken is evenly coated; set aside. Butter one side of your tortilla. Flip the tortilla over and spread cream cheese on half of the un-buttered side. Place the tortilla in the skillet, buttered side down. Do not fold the tortilla over yet. Add bleu cheese crumbles on top of the cream cheese. Top cheeses with chicken, and jack cheese. Fold tortilla over filling. Cook until tortilla is browned on each side and jack cheese has melted. Cut into pieces and serve warm. Top with sour cream. You can garnish with a little chopped fresh or dried chives for some color, if you like too. NOTE Don't not overdo the cheese. Can become too cheesy and little of the buffalo wing flavor you want. A little Frank's Hot Sauce mixed with melted butter would make a good dipping sauce. I also would have more blue cheese dressing on the side.

Tips
- Use a variety of tortillas. Flour tortillas are the most common, but you can also use corn tortillas, whole-wheat tortillas, or even pita bread.
- Shred your own cheese. Pre-shredded cheese is often coated with cellulose, which can make it less melty.
- Don't overcrowd the quesadilla. If you put too much filling in, it will be difficult to fold and cook evenly.
- Cook the quesadilla over medium heat. This will help to prevent the tortillas from burning.
- Flip the quesadilla frequently. This will help to ensure that it cooks evenly.
- Serve the quesadilla with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular options include salsa, guacamole, and sour cream.
