Keto Chicken and Cheese Quesadilla

This Keto Chicken and Cheese Quesadilla is a delightful fusion of melted cheese and seasoned chicken, all wrapped in a low-carb tortilla. Perfect for a quick weeknight dinner, it delivers flavor without the carbs.

Ingredients

• Cooked chicken breast, shredded - 200 grams
• Shredded cheddar cheese - 150 grams
• Almond flour tortillas - 2 large
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Ground cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Garlic powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Onion powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/4 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Sour cream (for serving) - 50 grams
• Sliced jalapeños (optional) - 30 grams

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken with ground cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the chicken is evenly coated with the spices.
2. Heat half of the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
3. Place one almond flour tortilla in the skillet and sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the tortilla.
4. Spread the seasoned chicken mixture over the cheese, then top with the remaining cheddar cheese and the second tortilla.
5. Cook until the bottom tortilla is golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Carefully flip the quesadilla and add the remaining olive oil to the pan if needed. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the second side is golden and the cheese is melted.
6. Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it cool for a minute before slicing it into wedges.
7. Serve with sour cream and sliced jalapeños if desired.
