    Cut each quesadilla into 4 wedges. Serve with blue cheese dressing and celery sticks.

  • To give these Buffalo Chicken Quesadillas some added spice and flavor, sprinkle a few dashes of Old El Paso™ taco sauce or extra red pepper sauce on the tortilla before folding over.
  • For a speedier Buffalo Chicken Quesadillas recipe, shred leftover cooked chicken or purchased rotisserie chicken, or use canned chunk chicken breast in place of the poached chicken.
