    buffalo chicken quesadillas

    I’m back with more quesadillas…this time with a fun and ridiculously tasty Buffalo Chicken version. These are perfect finger foods for the upcoming “Big Game Day” – also known as Super Bowl 50!

    I’ve taken all the amazing flavors of Buffalo Hot Wings and loaded them into tortillas.

    Here’s how it looks…
