Ingredients
1large, burrito-sized flour tortillalow carb or gluten free tortillas work as well
1/3cupshredded cheese I used a 3-cheese Mexican blend
2/3cooked, 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.
