Ingredients
- 1 piece cooked chicken breast
- 2 pieces coconut flour tortilla
- 1 cup paleo-friendly cheese (such as cashew cheese)
- 1 medium bell pepper, sliced
- 0.5 medium onion, sliced
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 medium avocado, sliced
Directions
Step 1
Shred the cooked chicken breast into bite-sized pieces.
Step 2
In a medium skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium heat.
Step 3
Add the sliced bell pepper and onion to the skillet. Sauté until the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes.
Step 4
Add the shredded chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Season with salt and black pepper. Stir well to combine. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Step 5
Lay one coconut flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread half of the paleo-friendly cheese over the entire surface of the tortilla.
Step 6
Evenly distribute the chicken and vegetable mixture over the cheese.
Step 7
Top with the remaining cheese and place the second tortilla on top to form a quesadilla.
Step 8
Carefully lift the quesadilla into the skillet and cook over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Step 9
Once the quesadilla is cooked, remove it from the skillet and let it cool for a minute.
Step 10
Slice the quesadilla into wedges and serve with fresh avocado.
