Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Keto tortillas
- 2 cups Cooked chicken breast
- 1.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 medium Bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 0.5 medium Red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 medium Avocado, sliced
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the sliced bell pepper and red onion to the skillet. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
Remove the vegetables from the skillet and set them aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil.
Place a keto tortilla in the skillet and sprinkle 3 tablespoons of shredded cheddar cheese over half of the tortilla.
Layer with 1/2 cup of shredded cooked chicken, a portion of the sautéed veggies, and additional 3 tablespoons of cheddar cheese.
Fold the tortilla over to create a half-moon shape, pressing down gently.
Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is golden and crispy.
Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and ingredients.
Once all quesadillas are cooked, slice each into three wedges.
Serve hot, garnished with slices of avocado and a sprinkle of chopped fresh cilantro.
