Ingredients
  

Filling and assembly
  • 2 cup cooked chicken, shredded
  • 0.5 cup BBQ sauce
  • 2 tbsp hot honey (or honey with hot sauce)
  • 8 flour tortillas (large)
  • 3 cup shredded cheese (cheddar and monterey jack)
  • 0.25 red onion, diced
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 sour cream for dipping
  • 1 ranch for dipping
  • 1 fresh cilantro for garnish

Equipment

  • 1 griddle

Method
 

Mix the BBQ chicken
  1. Toss the shredded chicken with the BBQ sauce and half of the hot honey until evenly coated.
  2. Set the chicken mixture aside while you heat the griddle.
Cook the quesadillas on the Blackstone
  1. Heat the Blackstone griddle to medium heat and butter the surface.
  2. Place 4 tortillas on the griddle and sprinkle with about half the shredded cheese.
  3. Add the BBQ chicken and diced red onion over the cheese.
  4. Top with the remaining cheese and place the remaining 4 tortillas on top, pressing down gently.
  5. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side until the tortillas are golden and the cheese is fully melted.
Finish and serve
  1. Remove the quesadillas from the griddle and drizzle with the remaining hot honey.
  2. Cut into wedges and serve immediately with sour cream and ranch, topped with fresh cilantro.

Notes

For maximum stretch and crisp edges, don’t overfill—keep an even cheese layer to help everything bind. Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat on a hot griddle or skillet until warmed through. Freezing isn’t recommended because tortillas can lose texture. For a lighter option, use reduced-fat shredded cheese and swap BBQ sauce for a lower-sugar version.
