Ingredients

• 1 large chicken breast
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 4 medium low-carb tortillas
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 0.5 medium green bell pepper
• 0.5 medium red onion
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 0.5 cup guacamole

Directions

Step 1

Begin by prepping the chicken. Slice the chicken breast into thin strips.

Step 2

In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the strips of chicken with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder.

Step 3

Cook the chicken strips thoroughly for about 6-8 minutes until they are nicely browned and cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Slice the green bell pepper and red onion thinly, then sauté them in the skillet for about 3-4 minutes until they are tender. Remove from skillet and set aside.

Step 5

Lay out the low-carb tortillas. On one half of each tortilla, sprinkle a mix of shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese, layer with cooked chicken strips, and then add the sautéed vegetables.

Step 6

Fold the tortilla over the filling to make a half-moon shape.

Step 7

In a separate clean skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Place one folded tortilla in the skillet, cooking for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cheese is melted.

Step 8

Repeat with the remaining tortillas, adding the remaining butter as needed.

Step 9

Once done, slice each quesadilla into thirds or quarters.

Step 10

Serve the quesadillas hot, with a dollop of sour cream and guacamole on the side for dipping.
