Ingredients
  

For the Quesadillas:

  • 1 flour tortilla 8–10 inch size
  • 1 tsp butter
  • ¼ cup grated cheddar cheese
  • ¼ cup crumbled cooked bacon
  • 1 tbsp ranch dressing
  • ¼ cup cooked chicken optional but highly recommended

Toppings for Serving:

  • ½ cup shredded lettuce
  • ⅓ cup diced tomatoes
  • Extra ranch for dipping optional

Instructions
 

  • Melt 1 tsp butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Don’t go too hot—medium ensures even melting without burning.
  • Place a tortilla in the skillet. Add cheese, bacon, chicken (if using), and a drizzle of ranch.
  • Cook 2–3 minutes until golden. Fold in half (or top with another tortilla) and cook another 2–3 minutes until both sides are crisp.
  • Let rest for 1 minute, then slice into wedges. Top with lettuce, tomatoes, and serve with extra ranch.
