Course: Main Course
Cuisine: Mexican
Servings: 1 quesadilla

Ingredients

  • 1 large, burrito-sized flour tortilla low carb or gluten free tortillas work as well
  • 1 tablespoon butter unsalted
  • 2 tablespoons Creamy Jalapeno Sauce
  • 1/3 cup shredded cheese I used a 3-cheese Mexican blend
  • 2/3 cooked, sliced chicken

Instructions

  • Spread the jalapeno sauce evenly over the tortilla, leaving a little space around the edge so that it doesn’t spill out during cooking. Sprinkle cheese over the sauce, then place the chicken on half the tortilla in a single layer.
  • Melt butter in a large skillet on medium heat, then add the prepared tortilla. Allow it to cook for 5-6 minutes. Once it’s golden brown, flip the meatless side over to cover the chicken. Flip and cook until both sides are perfectly toasted to a beautiful golden brown.

Notes

When made with a La Banderita large 10" Carb Counter tortilla, each quesadilla has 6.3 net carbs.
