The increasing amount of shoe squeaks coming from my television can only mean one thing — March Madness is here! Whether you’re a fan of college basketball or not, Buffalo Chicken Quesadillas are literally bringing the heat and are the perfect thing to snack on while watching your favorite teams battle it out on the court. Or simply for a Wednesday night dinner. Buffalo chicken is versatile like that. Truly, I got a hankering for these cheesy, crispy, spicy quesadillas one day last week and couldn’t stop thinking about them until I made them. They are so good, and incredibly filling!
Simple Buffalo Chicken Recipe
The recipe for Buffalo Chicken Quesadillas is also super simple. Mix shredded chicken with buffalo wing sauce for spice, chopped green onions for zip, then layer with shredded cheese between two gluten free tortillas. Brown, flip, BOOM. Time to eat! As good as these quesadillas are hot and melty, they’re also just as delicious warm or even room temperature, so make a huge platter of them to graze on while watching the game. Fizzy drink accompaniment optional but highly recommended!

How to Make Buffalo Chicken Quesadillas
To a bowl, add shredded chicken, chopped green onions, and as much buffalo wing sauce as you like the stir to combine. I like Frank’s Buffalo Wing Sauce or Sweet Baby Ray’s Buffalo Wing Sauce, both of which are gluten free at the time of this writing (9/24).
Next, heat a flat skillet or griddle over medium heat then spray with nonstick spray. Place a tortilla down (I like Mission gluten free tortillas,) then add a thin layer of shredded Mexican-blend cheese followed by the buffalo chicken mixture.
Sprinkle more cheese on top, followed by another tortilla, then flip when the bottom side is golden brown.
Cook until the second side is golden brown then slide the quesadilla onto a cooling rack to cool for 5-10 minutes.
Last step is to slice that bad boy up then serve it with a side of Ranch dipping sauce. I prefer my Homemade Ranch Dressing, of course! However you serve it, I hope you love this spicy, cheesy quesadilla recipe – enjoy!
