Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces low-carb tortillas
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 1 piece sliced avocado
- 0.25 cup chopped cilantro
- 2 pieces lime wedges
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter.
Once the butter has melted, place one low-carb tortilla in the skillet.
Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the tortilla.
Top with another tortilla, pressing down lightly.
Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side, or until the cheese starts to melt and the bottom is golden brown.
Carefully flip the quesadilla using a spatula, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the other side is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
Remove the quesadilla from the pan and let it cool slightly on a cutting board.
Repeat the cooking process with the remaining butter, tortillas, and cheese to make the second quesadilla.
Slice each quesadilla into wedges and serve with sour cream, sliced avocado, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro on top.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
