If you follow Domestic Superhero then you know that I am obsessed with all things buffalo chicken. I mean, how can you not be?! Homemade Buffalo sauce is essentially delicious on ANYTHING, so I pretty much can guarantee that if you add it to a dish, the dish will turn out super tasty! Using the classic flavors of a buffalo chicken wing, I paired them together and made these amazingly tasty Grilled Buffalo Chicken Quesadillas.

I love using a grill to make these buffalo chicken quesadillas, but you can always use a grill pan as well. There're only a handful of ingredients, but the cheeses, carrots, celery, and sauce really make these Buffalo Chicken Quesadillas POP! 

Buffalo Chicken is such a versatile dish! I've already shared some of my favorite buffalo style recipes such as the Buffalo Chicken Salad, Buffalo Chicken Sandwich, Air Fryer Buffalo Wings (fast & easy), Instant Pot Buffalo Chicken Dip, and even Air Fryer Buffalo Cauliflower Bites (No Oil)!

How to make Buffalo Chicken Quesadillas:

**Scroll down for full directions and ingredients**

  • Get all the ingredients together; chicken, cheeses, celery, sauce, carrots, spices, and tortillas (scroll down for amounts).
  • Grill the chicken until cooked all the way through. Then add to a bowl with the celery, carrots, buffalo sauce, spices, and some of the cheese - then mix it all together.
    • Using 3 chicken breasts allowed me to make 3 massive buffalo chicken quesadillas, so you could probably even spread it to 4 whole quesadillas if you use less filling in each one. 
  • Add the filling to a large flour tortilla, and then brush the sides that will be grilled with a little oil. 
  • Pop these back on the grill in order to melt the cheese! Flip them over after a few minutes and then serve them!
    • I like to close the grill to make the cheese melt more quickly, but be careful not to burn the quesadillas.
  • Top with ranch (Jalapeno ranch for the win), more buffalo sauce, or blue cheese dressing and chives (or more buffalo sauce if you like it HOT) and then devour!

I love grilling! Here are some other recipes that are great on the grill!

  • Jalapeno Ranch Black Bean Loaded Nachos are loaded with fresh ingredients and homemade spicy jalapeno ranch. In less than 20 minutes you have the perfect dish!
  • Turkey Cranberry Grilled Cheese is the ULTIMATE Thanksgiving leftovers meal! Turkey, cranberry sauce, and two cheeses are combined for this tasty sandwich!
  • Grilled Sausage Foil Packs are loaded with delicious Yuengling infused sausage, red potatoes, mini corn cobs, and onions! Perfect for a quick easy dinner!
  • Apple Grilled Cheese is perfect for fall! Smokey gouda cheese melted between tart granny smith apples is savory and delicious!

Classic buffalo chicken flavors mixed together and grilled between two crunchy tortillas makes the perfect Grilled Buffalo Chicken Quesadillas.

Course: Main Course
Cuisine: American
Keyword: buffalo chicken quesadilla
Servings: 3 quesadillas
Ingredients
  • 3 chicken breasts
  • dash salt
  • dash pepper
  • ⅓ cup buffalo wing sauce (recipe in notes)
  • ⅓ cup bleu cheese crumbles
  • ¾ cup colby jack cheese, shredded
  • 2 stalks celery, diced
  • 2 carrots, peeled and diced
  • 3-4 large flour tortillas
  • olive oil
For garnish
  • ranch dressing
  • parsley, chopped
  • 2 green onions, chopped
Instructions
  1. Heat the grill on medium/high. Spray grill top with nonstick spray or brush with oil.

  2. Sprinkle salt and pepper on the tops and bottoms of your chicken breasts. Place on grill and close. Cook 5-6 minutes per side, or until cooked through (times will vary depending on heat level). Remove. Using a fork and knife, chop chicken into bite sized pieces. 

  3. In a large bowl, combine chicken, buffalo sauce, celery, carrots, colby jack cheese, and bleu cheese crumbles.

  4. With tortillas open, add mixture to half the tortilla spreading in an even layer. Fold the other half over the top and lightly press down to secure. Repeat for all tortillas. Brush olive oil over one side, and place that side DOWN on the grill. Brush the top side once set on the grill. Repeat for all. Cook 2-3 minutes per side*, or until lightly crisped and cheese is melted. Watch carefully so avoid burning. Remove and set aside.

  5. Cut quesadillas in half. Serve topped with parsley, green onions, and ranch. Enjoy!

Recipe Notes

*I prefer to close the grill top to cook the inside of the quesadilla faster, however it will cook quickly so keep a close eye on it to prevent burning. 

Don't like bleu cheese? Leave it off!
