Ingredients
  

Blackstone hot honey BBQ chicken quesadillas
  • 2 cup cooked chicken Shredded.
  • 0.5 cup BBQ sauce
  • 2 tbsp hot honey Or honey with hot sauce.
  • 8 large flour tortillas
  • 3 cup shredded cheese Cheddar and monterey jack blend.
  • 0.25 red onion diced red onion
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • sour cream For dipping.
  • ranch For dipping.
  • fresh cilantro For garnish.

Equipment

  • 1 cast iron skillet

Method
 

Make the BBQ chicken
  1. In a mixing bowl, toss shredded chicken with BBQ sauce and half the hot honey until evenly coated.
  2. Set the chicken mixture aside so it’s ready to layer into the quesadillas.
Griddle the quesadillas
  1. Heat a griddle to medium heat and melt the butter on the surface.
  2. Place 4 tortillas on the griddle and sprinkle with cheese to cover, then add the BBQ chicken and diced red onion.
  3. Top with more cheese and the remaining tortillas, pressing down gently to help everything bond.
  4. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden and the cheese is fully melted, flipping once.
Finish and serve
  1. Remove quesadillas from the griddle and drizzle with the remaining hot honey for a glossy finish.
  2. Cut into wedges and serve immediately with sour cream, ranch, and fresh cilantro for garnish.

Notes

Pro tip: press the tortillas gently for a uniform melt, then flip only once to keep the layers from slipping. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat on a griddle or skillet over medium-low until warmed through. Freezing is not recommended because the tortillas can soften. For a lighter option, use reduced-fat cheese while keeping the same hot honey and BBQ chicken filling.
