Ingredients
Scale
Cooking oil of choice
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs or chicken breasts
Kosher salt
Pepper
BBQ seasoning blend
3 tablespoons BBQ sauce
2 tablespoons hot honey
4 large burrito-size flour tortillas
3 cups shredded cheese of choice
1/2 cup chopped cilantro (optional)
Optional toppings: sour cream, jalapenos
Instructions
Preheat your griddle on medium heat, then swirl in your cooking oil.
Season the chicken with kosher salt, pepper, and BBQ seasoning. Cook for about 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fully cooked.
Stir in the BBQ sauce and hot honey, cooking for another 2 minutes. Once done, remove the chicken mixture from the griddle.
Add a bit more oil to the griddle. Lay the tortillas flat and sprinkle half of the cheese on one side.
Layer the chicken mixture over the cheese, drizzle with additional BBQ sauce and hot honey if desired. Add cilantro, and top with the remaining cheese.
Fold the tortillas over and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until crispy and golden.
Serve hot and top with your favorite garnishes.
Notes
These quesadillas are best enjoyed fresh and hot from the griddle. Pair with sour cream or salsa for dipping.
