# 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
# How-To 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 with the sauce. Set aside to allow flavors to meld.
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, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly browned. Remove from heat and set aside.
03 - Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Sprinkle half of one side with an even layer of cheddar and mozzarella cheeses. Add a portion of the BBQ chicken mixture, followed by a layer of sautéed onions and bell peppers. Top with fresh cilantro.
04 - Fold the tortilla over to create a half-moon shape, enclosing all the filling. Press gently to seal the edges.
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 completely melted.
06 - Remove from the skillet and let cool for 1–2 minutes. Cut into wedges and repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
07 - Serve warm with sour cream, guacamole, and lime wedges if desired.
