    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

    Prep Time10 minutes minutes
    Cook Time10 minutes minutes
    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!

      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.

        Do you have a good dairy free potato salad recipe? I’m dying to try one for my daughter.

          @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 second the loving of the hummus as a cheese alternative. I would have never thought of that! Quesadillas can be mine again!

      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.

      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. :)
