Blackstone BBQ Chicken Quesadillas with Balsamic Relish
It’s an extra special day when your dad comes to cook with you on the griddle! We made his favorite which is Blackstone BBQ Chicken Quesadillas with Balsamic Relish.
I first saw this recipe on Food Network almost 30 years ago from Bobby Flay, and I created an easy home cook version on the Blackstone griddle!
It’s his favorite thing that I make, so we had to make it together to create even more memories around this dish 🙂
How to make Blackstone BBQ Chicken Quesadillas with Balsamic Relish
First mix together 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar with 1 cup of pico de gallo, and add more balsamic if desired.
I got store bought pico, or you can make your own.
Then mix together 1/2 cup sour cream, 1/4 cup buttermilk, 1 tablespoon lime juice, and some chili powder in another bowl.
Next preheat your Blackstone or flat top griddle to medium heat, add some cooking oil, and a pound of chicken.
Season the chicken with kosher salt, pepper, and your favorite BBQ seasoning.
And cook for 6 to 7 minutes.
Lower the griddle heat and scrape clean if needed.
Add more cooking oil and 6 soft flour tortillas, we used 7 inch tortillas.
Sprinkle cheese on one side of each tortilla, then add the chicken and BBQ sauce.
More cheese goes over the chicken and then fold the empty side over the filled side.
Cook for a few more minutes, flipping a few times until the cheese is melty and the tortillas are golden brown and toasty.
Blackstone BBQ Chicken Quesadillas with Balsamic Relish are not your average chicken quesadilla!
Top with the sour cream buttermilk sauce and of course the balsamic relish.
We had to “cheers” our first bite to my dad for literally being the BEST dad, one of my best friends, and now my fun cooking partner 🙂
