Ingredients

• 4 pieces Low-carb tortillas
• 2 cups Cooked chicken breast
• 1.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 medium Bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 0.5 medium Onion, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Add the sliced bell pepper and onion to the skillet and sauté for about 5 minutes or until they are softened.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, combine the cooked chicken, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the chicken is well-coated with the spices.

Step 4

Add the chicken to the skillet with the vegetables and stir well. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the chicken is heated through.

Step 5

Remove the chicken and vegetable mixture from the skillet and set it aside.

Step 6

Wipe the skillet clean and reduce the heat to medium. Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 7

Place one low-carb tortilla in the skillet, and sprinkle 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over half of the tortilla.

Step 8

Add 1/4 of the chicken and vegetable mixture on top of the cheese.

Step 9

Fold the tortilla in half over the filling and press gently with a spatula.

Step 10

Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese has melted.

Step 11

Remove from the skillet and repeat with the remaining tortillas, adding more oil if needed.

Step 12

Cut each quesadilla into wedges and serve warm with sour cream and guacamole on the side.
