Ingredients
- 4 oz cooked chicken breast, shredded
- 2 low-carb tortillas (e.g., Mission Carb Balance or coconut flour tortillas)
- 1/4 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 jalapeño, thinly sliced (seeds removed for less heat)
- 2 tbsp sour cream
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prep: Shred the cooked chicken breast and slice the jalapeño.
- Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a non-stick pan or on a hob over medium heat.
- Place one low-carb tortilla in the pan. Sprinkle half of the Monterey Jack and cheddar cheese over the tortilla.
- Distribute half of the shredded chicken and half of the sliced jalapeños evenly over the cheese.
- Place the second tortilla on top. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Carefully remove the quesadilla from the pan and slice into wedges.
- Repeat for the second quesadilla or assemble one larger one. Serve immediately with a dollop of sour cream.
- Top tip: For an extra crispy quesadilla, lightly brush the tortillas with a little olive oil before cooking.
