Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 4 Whole wheat tortillas
  • 1 ⅓ cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
  • ¼ cup buffalo sauce
  • 1 bag coleslaw mix
  • ½ cup sliced celery
  • ½ cup carrot matchsticks
  • ¼ cup blue cheese crumbles
  • ½ cup yogurt ranch dressing

Directions:

In a small bowl, toss together the shredded rotisserie chicken and buffalo sauce. Set aside.

Lay out a tortilla, sprinkle ⅓ cup of shredded cheese on half of it. Top the cheese with ½ cup buffalo chicken mix. Fold the tortilla so it forms a semicircle. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

Heat a large dry skillet over medium heat. Place two quesadillas in at a time and toast for 2-3 minutes per side or until cheese is melted and chicken is heated through. Be sure to keep an eye on the heat and lower if needed.

While quesadillas cook, toss together coleslaw mix, celery, carrots, blue cheese crumbles and yogurt ranch.

Cut each quesadilla into fourths and serve alongside the slaw.
