Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup (shredded) Cooked chicken breast
- 1 cup (shredded) Cheddar cheese
- 1 cup (shredded) Mozzarella cheese
- 2 pieces Low-carb tortillas
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Sour cream
- 0.5 teaspoons Chipotle chili powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Paprika
- 0.25 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Onion powder
- 1 tablespoon Butter
Instructions
In a small bowl, prepare the creamy sauce by mixing mayonnaise, sour cream, chipotle chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder until well combined. Set aside.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt the butter.
Place one low-carb tortilla in the skillet and spread about 1 tablespoon of the prepared sauce evenly over the surface of the tortilla.
Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses evenly over the sauced tortilla.
Add half of the shredded chicken on top of the cheese layer.
Drizzle an additional tablespoon of sauce over the chicken, then sprinkle a little more cheese on top if desired.
Place the second tortilla on top and gently press down with a spatula to flatten slightly.
Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and the cheese has started to melt.
Carefully flip the quesadilla with a large spatula and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes, until golden and crispy.
Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it rest for 1-2 minutes before slicing into wedges.
Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to make the second quesadilla.
Serve warm with your favorite keto-friendly sides, such as guacamole or salsa.
