Sour cream or Greek yogurt

Sliced green onions

Additional buffalo sauce
# Steps:
01 -
In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken and buffalo sauce. Stir thoroughly to ensure all pieces are evenly coated. Incorporate garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper, and mix until the seasoning is well-dispersed.

Lay out the flour tortillas. On half of each tortilla, sprinkle a layer of cheddar cheese, then add an even portion of the buffalo chicken mixture. Top with mozzarella cheese, then fold the tortilla over the fillings to form a half-moon.
03 -
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place two prepared quesadillas in the skillet and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side or until golden brown and crisp. Add additional olive oil for the next batch as needed. Repeat until all quesadillas are cooked.

Cut each quesadilla into wedges. Serve hot, accompanied by sour cream or Greek yogurt, drizzle with additional buffalo sauce, and garnish with sliced green onions.
# Notes:

For a milder flavor, reduce the amount of buffalo sauce or opt for a mild variety. To ensure extra crispiness, avoid overstuffing the tortillas.
