Ingredients for the Best Chicken Quesadilla

Chicken – use the chicken you have  rotisserie, etc.
Cheese – you can’t go wrong here. Mexican mix, pepperjack, mozzarella, gouda, cheddar, Swiss, the list goes on.
Bacon- I prefer crispy bacon, but this quesadilla will be great if you want it cooked!
Ranch dressing – low-fat options will work here too
Tortilla – you can use a regular tortilla or eat a gluten-free, low-carb, protein tortilla or flavored tortilla.

What is the tortilla hacking trend?

You know what they say, act like kids! And this time, I have to admit, the kids were right. Ok, here’s the tortilla trick explained for anyone who remembers VHS tapes.

Lay out a tortilla circle. Make a cut in the middle of the tortilla along the bottom half, down to the tortilla half. Put your ingredients in the four quarters of the tortilla. So chicken in one section, bacon in the other, barn and cheese

Now it’s wrap time. Take the part to the left of the cut you made earlier from the tortilla. Take this section and fold it directly over the section above it. So if you place your tortilla with chicken on the bottom left, bacon on the top left, ranch on the top right, and cheese on the bottom right, you’re placing the chicken on top of the bacon.

Now fold the two sections (chicken and bacon hypothetically) into the top right corner of the tortilla. So in our scenario, fold these two sections over your farm. Once you’ve done this, fold the three pieces on the bottom right, our cheese. So all four portions overlap, so you basically take one bite of each flavor at a time. That’s it, fellow guys!
