Game Day Buffalo Chicken Quesadilla
Ingredients
Prepare
Game Day Buffalo Chicken Quesadilla
- 1/2 cup finely chopped carrots
- 1/4 cup finely chopped celery
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped onion
- 8 ounces chopped grilled chicken breast
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 4 teaspoons Tabasco sauce
- 2 tablespoons buffalo wing sauce
- 4 (10-inch) whole wheat tortillas
- 1/2 cup part-skim shredded mozzarella
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 6 tablespoons Mindful Blue Cheese Dressing
- 20 ounces of seedless grapes
- 1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and spray with non-stick pan spray. Once the skillet is hot, add carrots, celery, and onions and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until slightly softened.
- 2. Add the chicken and garlic powder and cook for 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat, transfer the chicken to a bowl, add the hot sauces, and stir until well incorporated. Allow the pan to cool until it is safe to touch, and then carefully wipe any vegetables or chicken out of the pan.
- 3. Portion evenly across the bottom half of each tortilla:
- 2 tablespoons shredded cheese
- 3 ounces buffalo chicken and vegetables, or a quarter of the mixture
- 1 tablespoon sliced scallions.
Fold the tortilla over the filling. - 4. Reheat the skillet over medium heat with vegetable oil spray. When the skillet is hot, cook each quesadilla for 1 1/2 minutes or until the tortilla browns. Spray the top of the quesadilla with vegetable oil spray, flip, and cook an additional 1 1/2 minutes or until the tortilla browns, the cheese melts, and the quesadilla reaches an internal temperature of at least 165 degrees Fahrenheit with an instant-read thermometer.
- 5. Cut as desired and enjoy immediately with 5 ounces of grapes and 1 1/2 tablespoons of prepared blue cheese dressing.
Mindful Blue Cheese Dressing (makes 1 cup)
- 3/4 cup low-fat cottage cheese
- 1/4 cup nonfat plain yogurt
- 3 tablespoons blue cheese crumbles
- 1/8 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/8 teaspoon ground white pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1. Combine cottage cheese, yogurt, 1 1/2 tablespoons blue cheese crumbles, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, white pepper, and salt in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth (about 1 minute), occasionally scraping down the sides.
- 2. Add the remaining blue cheese and pulse about ten times to combine. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
Chef Tips:
- Mindful blue cheese dressing is a great dip for celery and carrots. Give it a try!
- Save time and use a food processor to chop the vegetables for the buffalo chicken filling quickly. Consider making a double or triple batch and using it as a filling for dumplings or to add to a stir fry.
