Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie chicken works great!)

1 cup BBQ sauce (choose a kid-friendly, mild variety)

1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)

4 large flour tortillas

1/2 cup corn (frozen or canned, drained)

1/2 cup diced bell peppers (any color for fun!)

1/2 cup chopped green onions

Cooking spray or a little olive oil

Optional: sour cream or ranch dressing for dipping

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken Mixture: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the shredded chicken and BBQ sauce. Mix well until all the chicken is coated in sauce. Set aside.

    Assemble the Quesadillas: Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface. On one half of the tortilla, sprinkle a layer of shredded cheese, followed by a portion of the BBQ chicken mixture. Then add a few spoonfuls of corn, diced bell peppers, and chopped green onions. Top it off with another layer of cheese. Fold the other half of the tortilla over to create a half-moon shape.

      Cook the Quesadillas: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Spray with a little cooking spray or add a splash of olive oil. Place the folded quesadilla in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes or until the bottom is golden brown and crispy. Carefully flip the quesadilla and cook the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes until golden and the cheese is melted. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.

        Slice and Serve: Remove the quesadillas from the skillet and let them cool for a minute before slicing them into wedges. Serve warm with optional dipping sauces like sour cream or ranch dressing.
