Have you seen this new tortilla hack going around lately? I just had to try it! I love combining flavors and this seemed like a great way to get as many delicious tastes into one bite as possible! Are there any flavors that go better together than chicken, bacon and ranch? I don’t think so.

This is the perfect easy dinner or meal prep lunch! Use leftover grilled chicken, shredded chicken or rotisserie style chicken, add some precooked bacon and bam! You’ve got yourself a meal that everyone will love. To make this recipe low carb, just swap out the regular tortilla for a low carb tortilla! This seriously only takes ten minutes to bring together and your kids will think you are the coolest around for knowing about this trend! 

Ingredients for the best Chicken Quesadilla

• Chicken- use whatever chicken you have on hand- grilled, taco style, fried, rotisserie, etc.
• Cheese- you can’t go wrong here. Mexican blend, pepperjack, mozzarella, gouda, cheddar, swiss, the list goes on.
• Bacon- I prefer crispy bacon, but however you like yours cooked will be great in this quesadilla!
• Ranch dressing- low fat options will also work here
• Tortilla- you can use a regular tortilla, or go for gluten free, low carb, a protein tortilla or a flavored tortilla

What is the tortilla hack trend?

You know what they say, do as the kids do! And this time, I have to admit, the kids were right. Okay, here’s the tortilla hack explained for everyone who remembers VHS tapes.

Lay out a tortilla flat. In the middle of the tortilla along the bottom half, make a cut half way up the tortilla. Put your ingredients into the four quadrants of the tortilla. So chicken in one section, bacon, ranch and cheese in another.

Now it’s time to wrap. Take the portion of the tortilla that is to the left of the cut you made earlier. Take that section and fold it directly on top of the section above it. So if you laid out your tortilla as chicken in the bottom left, bacon in the top left, ranch in the top right and cheese in the bottom right, you would be placing chicken over bacon.

Now fold the two sections (hypothetically, chicken and bacon) to the right upper corner of the tortilla. So in our scenario, fold these two sections over your ranch. After you’ve done that, fold the three sections into the bottom right, so our cheese. So all four sections overlap so you basically get a bite of each flavor all at once. That’s it, fellow kids!
