Absolutely adore these quesadillas from the grill. So much so that I think grilling quesadillas is the only way I will cook them now 😉
Grilled BBQ Chicken Quesadillas
Servings - 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 small boneless, skinless chicken breasts diced
- 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
- 8 tortillas
- 1-4 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- Couple cilantro leaves, chopped
- 4 corn cobs side dish
Instructions
- Dice the chicken and coat it with the BBQ sauce. Grill the chicken pieces until cooked through. (Be sure that you dice them into pieces that are large enough to not fall through the grill.)
- Once the chicken is cooked, place onto quesadilla and top with cheese and chopped cilantro. Place another tortilla on top. Repeat until all 4 quesadillas are made. Place back onto the grill over indirect heat and cook for 2-3 minutes, and then carefully flip. (I usually use 2 large spatulas, or even a spatula and small plate, to flip without spilling.) Grill another 2 minutes until cheese is fully melted.
- Remove from grill, slice and serve. Enjoy!

We love to grill quesadillas. It gives them a great flavor.

I love the idea of using hummus instead of cheese. We keep kosher so no mixing dairy and meat. That is a great substitute!
LisaE says
I haven’t tried grilling quasadillas yet but will soon, this looks great and the hummus idea is fab…..and so healthy-a bonus.
ATL Cook says
I have a perferated sheet for the grill. Bought it to grill asparagus, but it would work for this too.
Thanks for the tip on using hummus, allergic to dairy. I use basil instead of cilantro because it tastes soapy to me. I shredded some basil for potato salad last.
Melanie says
Do you have a good dairy free potato salad recipe? I’m dying to try one for my daughter.
ATL Cook says
@Melanie,
I have never put sour cream in it–a few people use a dressing that is a mix of sour cream/yogurt/buttermilk and mayonnaise. I do not do dairy; my potato salad is just mayonnaise, herb vinegar that I make, and a few packets of Splenda.

I made similar quesadillas but added some grilled pineapple and onion to them tonight! They look awesome! Thanks!
Amanda says
Love this recipe and idea, never thought about grilling quesadilla’s. I’m loving the grill this year too!! Summertime and warmer weather means grilling! 🙂
Alta says
I second the loving of the hummus as a cheese alternative. I would have never thought of that! Quesadillas can be mine again!

Love this! Just bought a new grill last weekend and this will be the first thing on it!
Kati says
I love the idea to use hummus instead of cheese! I usually use refried beans as my “glue” and sprinkle with nutritional yeast for a little cheesy flavor.
Kristin says
Made these last night! Absolutely YUMMY! Rave reviews by our entire family.
Kristin says
I turn this into a two night meal. The first night Grilled BBQ chicken and some sort of veggie. I grill extra BBQ chicken. We then use the extra for these Quesadilla’s the next night. These were already on my menu plan for next week:)

I just made this with chicken breasts, I was sceptical about the simple marinade but it turned out amazing ! It complements the spices and barbecue sauce perfectly. :)
