Ingredients

• 2 Low-carb tortillas
• 1 cup Cooked chicken breast (shredded or diced)
• 1 cup Shredded Mexican blend cheese
• 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons Sour cream
• 0.5 teaspoon Chipotle chili powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.13 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil or cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, sour cream, chipotle chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt until well combined. This is the creamy quesadilla sauce. Set aside.

Step 2

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with olive oil or cooking spray.

Step 3

Lay one low-carb tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread about 1 tablespoon of the creamy sauce evenly on the tortilla.

Step 4

Sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded Mexican blend cheese evenly over the tortilla, leaving about 1/2 inch of space around the edges.

Step 5

Distribute 1/2 cup of cooked chicken evenly over the cheese layer.

Step 6

Spread another 1 tablespoon of the creamy sauce onto the second tortilla and place it sauce-side down on top of the chicken layer to form a quesadilla.

Step 7

Carefully transfer the quesadilla to the heated skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt. Flip carefully using a spatula and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes.

Step 8

Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and place it on a cutting board. Let it rest for 1-2 minutes before slicing into wedges.

Step 9

Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to make the second quesadilla.

Step 10

Serve warm with additional sour cream or low-carb salsa, if desired.
