Ingredients
- 2½ cups shredded Mexican-blend cheese divided
- ¼ cup sliced green onions
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 5 large flour tortillas
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 2 tablespoons ranch dressing
- ½ cup buffalo sauce
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1½ tablespoons butter divided
- 2½ cups shredded chicken
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, green onions, ranch dressing, onion powder, garlic powder, and black pepper. Stir until thoroughly mixed.
- Heat ½ tablespoon of butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Work in batches to avoid overcrowding.
- On one half of a flour tortilla, layer ¼ cup of shredded cheese, followed by ½ cup of the buffalo chicken mixture, and then another ¼ cup of shredded cheese. Fold the tortilla in half to enclose the filling.
- Place the folded tortilla into the hot skillet and cook for 1 to 2 minutes on each side, or until the cheese is melted and the exterior is crisp and golden. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas, adding more butter as needed.
- Slice and serve warm. Accompany with sour cream, Mexican crema, or extra ranch dressing as desired.
