Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 Low-carb tortillas
- 1 cup Cooked chicken breast, shredded
- 1 cup Fresh spinach leaves
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese, softened
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Spread a thin layer of the seasoned cream cheese mixture on one side of each low-carb tortilla.
Place one tortilla, cream cheese side up, in the skillet.
Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the tortilla.
Add the shredded chicken and fresh spinach on top of the cheese, spreading it out evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the chicken and spinach layer.
Place the second tortilla, cream cheese side down, on top to form a sandwich.
Cook the quesadilla for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy and the cheese is fully melted. Use a spatula to carefully flip the quesadilla.
Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it cool slightly, about 1-2 minutes.
Cut the quesadilla into wedges and serve immediately. Enjoy!
