# What You'll Need:
→ Chicken & Sauce
01 - 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
02 - 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
03 - 2 tablespoons honey
04 - 1 teaspoon hot sauce
05 - Salt and pepper, to taste
→ Vegetables
06 - 1 cup sliced red onions
07 - 1 cup chopped bell peppers
08 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
09 - 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
→ Quesadillas
10 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
11 - 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
12 - 4 large flour tortillas
→ For Serving (Optional)
13 - Sour cream
14 - Guacamole
15 - Lime wedges
# Steps:
01 - In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, BBQ sauce, honey, hot sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until the chicken is evenly coated and set aside.
02 - Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced red onions and chopped bell peppers. Sauté for approximately 5 minutes, until softened and lightly browned. Remove from heat.
03 - Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Sprinkle half of one side with cheddar and mozzarella cheeses. Add a layer of the BBQ chicken mixture, then the sautéed onions and bell peppers. Top with fresh cilantro.
04 - Fold the tortilla over to create a half-moon shape, enclosing the filling completely.
05 - Heat a clean skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the filled tortilla in the skillet and cook for about 3 minutes per side, until the tortilla is golden and crispy and the cheese is melted.
06 - Remove from the skillet, let cool for 1–2 minutes, then cut into wedges. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling. Serve warm with sour cream, guacamole, and lime wedges, if desired.
