Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Coconut flour tortillas (low carb)
- 1 cup Shredded pork
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup Green bell pepper, diced
- 0.5 cup Red onion, diced
- 1 unit Avocado, sliced
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
Instructions
Start by heating a medium skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the pan.
Add the diced green bell pepper and red onion to the skillet. Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, cumin powder, and garlic powder. Cook until the vegetables are soft, about 4-5 minutes, then remove them from the pan and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the shredded pork to heat through if it’s pre-cooked or cooked at this step if raw. Stir occasionally for about 5-7 minutes or until the pork is thoroughly heated. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Take one coconut flour tortilla and sprinkle half of it with 1/4 cup each of cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
Add a portion of the cooked pork and a portion of the cooked vegetables on top of the cheese layer.
Fold the tortilla in half to enclose the filling.
Wipe the skillet clean if necessary and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Place the folded quesadilla in the skillet and cook over medium heat until the bottom is golden brown and crisp, about 3-4 minutes.
Flip the quesadilla carefully and cook the other side until equally golden and the cheese has melted.
Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and repeat the process with the remaining ingredients.
Once all quesadillas are cooked, slice them in half and serve warm.
Top or serve with slices of avocado, a dollop of sour cream, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
