Low Carb Quesadillas

I wanted to share this low carb recipe that I ended up trying out! I had it for lunch this week, and it’s a PINTEREST win in my book! This recipe is from DELISH with 1 modification of what I already had at home. 😉

INGREDIENTS:

1 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil

1 bell pepper, sliced

1/2 yellow onion, sliced

1/2 tsp. chili powder

Kosher salt

Freshly ground black pepper

3 c. shredded Monterey Jack and 3 c. shredded cheddar (or if you’re like me…I already had a bag of Mexican Style cheese blend so did 6 cups of that)

4 c. shredded chicken 

1 avocado, thinly sliced

Sour cream, for serving

DIRECTIONS:

1- Preheat oven to 400 degrees

2- Add parchment paper to baking pan

3- Slice green peppers and onion

4- Add oil to pan. Heat on medium-high setting.

5- Add pepper, onion, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until soft

6- Add cheese to parchment paper and spread about the size of a regular tortilla.

7- Bake until golden around edges (8 minutes)

8- I grabbed a paper towel to get excess oil from “tortilla.” Then add onion/pepper mixture, chicken, and avocado. Fold one side so is covering the filling.

9- Put back in oven for another 3 min.

10- Cut in quarters and add sour cream.

Enjoy!! I thought it was delicious! 🙂 The cheese made for a great “tortilla!”
