Ingredients

• 1 cup Cooked brisket
• 4 small Low carb tortillas
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.25 cup Sliced green onion
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 medium Sliced avocado
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Begin by shredding the cooked brisket if it is not already shredded. Set aside.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese, shredded Monterey Jack cheese, and sliced green onions.

Step 3

Lay out the four low-carb tortillas on a flat surface and spread the cheese mixture evenly over two tortillas. Top with an equal amount of brisket.

Step 4

Add a sprinkle of chopped cilantro over the brisket. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 5

Place the remaining tortillas on top to form two quesadillas.

Step 6

Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 7

Carefully place one quesadilla in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt.

Step 8

Using a spatula, carefully flip the quesadilla to cook the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes. Repeat with the second quesadilla.

Step 9

Once both quesadillas are cooked, remove from the skillet and let them cool for a minute. Then, slice each into wedges.

Step 10

Serve the quesadillas with slices of avocado and a dollop of sour cream. Optionally, you can garnish with additional cilantro or green onion.
