  • Warm a large skillet over medium heat and melt half the butter.
  • Lay one tortilla in the skillet. Sprinkle on some cheddar and Jack, spoon over chicken, scatter bacon and green onion, then top with more cheese and a second tortilla.
  • Cook 2–3 minutes per side, pressing lightly, until golden and melty. Repeat with remaining tortillas, adding more butter as needed.

Notes

Try it spicy: add thin jalapeño slices or a drizzle of hot honey before folding. Swap cheddar for pepper jack for extra kick. For meal prep, cool leftovers, refrigerate up to 3 days, and reheat in a dry skillet or air fryer at 350°F until crisp.
