Quick and tasty quesadillas featuring smoky BBQ chicken, sticky hot honey, melted cheese, and crisp tortillas; perfect for busy weeknights or casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • BBQ seasoning blend (or smoked paprika, garlic powder, and brown sugar)
  • 3 tablespoons BBQ sauce
  • 2 tablespoons hot honey
  • 4 large burrito-size flour tortillas
  • 3 cups shredded cheese of choice (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend)
  • 1/2 cup chopped cilantro (optional)
  • Cooking oil of choice (vegetable, canola, or avocado)
  • Optional toppings: sour cream, sliced jalapenos

Instructions

  1. Preheat the griddle to medium heat; add a thin layer of cooking oil.
  2. Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and BBQ seasoning and cook for about 6 minutes, turning occasionally.
  3. Add the BBQ sauce and hot honey, cooking for an additional 2 minutes until sticky.
  4. Remove the chicken and clean the griddle; lower the heat to medium-low and add more oil.
  5. On each tortilla, sprinkle half of the cheese on one half, add the chicken, drizzle more BBQ sauce and hot honey, and top with cilantro (if using) and remaining cheese.
  6. Fold the tortillas and cook each quesadilla for 1-2 minutes per side until golden and cheese is melted.
  7. Let rest for 30 seconds before slicing into wedges; serve with sour cream and jalapenos if desired.

Notes

Use chicken thighs for juicier results; for a vegetarian option, substitute beans and roasted peppers. Hot honey can be made with regular honey and a teaspoon of chili garlic sauce.
