Notes
The ranch flavor is subtle in this recipe, so add more if you want a stronger ranch flavor.
You can use Mexican shredded Cheese blend instead of the Colby Jack Cheese if you prefer. I prefer to shred my own cheese as it melts more smoothly for these quesadillas.
If you like green onions, you can consider dicing 2 and mixing it into the chicken mixture before assembling the quesadillas.
Watch the quesadillas quickly as they are cooking because they can brown easily.
Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
