Ingredients
- 4 almond flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup cooked chicken, shredded (optional)
- 1/4 cup diced bell peppers
- 1/4 cup diced onions
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Spices: cumin, chili powder, garlic powder
Preparation Steps
Start by heating a skillet over medium heat and adding a little olive oil. While it warms, prepare your filling by mixing shredded chicken, bell peppers, onions, and spices in a bowl.
Place one almond flour tortilla in the skillet. Spread a layer of shredded cheese over half of the tortilla, then add a generous amount of the prepared filling on top of the cheese. Sprinkle more cheese over the filling to help seal the quesadilla.
Fold the tortilla in half, pressing gently to secure the filling. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Serving Suggestions
Slice the quesadillas into wedges and serve hot. They pair well with guacamole, sour cream, or a fresh salsa. For an extra kick, add sliced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce.
Tips for Success
- Use a non-stick skillet for easy flipping and cleanup.
- Feel free to customize the filling with your favorite ingredients like mushrooms or spinach.
- Make ahead by preparing the filling in advance and assembling the quesadillas just before cooking.
