Customizing for Special Diets: We understand the importance of catering to various dietary needs. If you're gluten-free, you can easily adapt this recipe by using our gluten-free Rise & Puff tortillas.

Adjusting the Spice Level: Whether you prefer a milder or spicier buffalo chicken quesadilla, you have the power to control the heat. Here are a few tips:

• Milder Option: Use a mild buffalo sauce or mix it with a creamy ranch dressing to tame the heat while still enjoying the flavor.
• Spicier Option: Opt for a hot or extra spicy buffalo sauce to kick up the heat. You can also sprinkle red pepper flakes or add diced jalapeños for an extra punch.

• Classic Blue Cheese Dip: Traditional blue cheese dressing pairs perfectly with the tangy buffalo chicken, creating a delightful balance of flavors.
• Creamy Ranch Dip: Cool down the heat with a creamy ranch dip. Its smooth and refreshing flavor complements the spiciness of the buffalo chicken.
