BBQ Ranch Chicken Quesadilla Tacos

BBQ Ranch Chicken Quesadilla Tacos……WHAT?!  Easy BBQ ranch chicken made in the slow cooker then stuffed inside of a cheesy quesadilla shell.

You. Guys.  Why in the world did I wait so long to use a little quesadilla as a taco shell?

I mean, I’m definitely not opposed to getting more cheese in my diet whenever humanly possible.  So, this only seems natural.

We use corn tortillas here, monterrey jack, cook it up in a little olive oil and it gets all crispy on the outside with melty cheesy goodness inside.

Check out the video for this recipe below!

I love a good spin on Mexican or Tex-Mex type food.  This dinner is honestly neither one of those….I like to think of it as a “Midwest-mex” dish if you will.

We love BBQ anything and everything in the Midwest, am I right?

So, this chicken goes right into the slow cooker with your favorite BBQ sauce, and a packet of ranch dressing mix. Cook it all day while your gone and dinner is basically ready when you get home.

If you don’t want to use your crock pot, I definitely recommend keeping things easy and using a rotisserie chicken. Shred it up, add your BBQ sauce and ranch, good to go!

Get these mind blowing midwest-mex bbq chicken quesadilla blow-your-mind tacos on your menu pronto!
