Description

This Keto Buffalo Chicken Quesadilla is a low-carb, high-flavor meal packed with spicy buffalo chicken and melted cheese, all wrapped in a crispy, low-carb tortilla. Perfect for anyone on a keto diet who craves the classic buffalo flavor without the carbs!


Ingredients

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked and shredded

1/4 cup buffalo sauce (adjust to taste)

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

4 keto-friendly tortillas (almond flour or coconut flour tortillas)

2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened

2 tablespoons butter (for cooking)

Optional: ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping

Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish (optional)


Instructions

  • Prepare the Chicken Filling: In a bowl, mix the shredded chicken with buffalo sauce until well-coated. Set aside.

  • Prepare the Cheese: In a separate bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese.

  • Spread the Cream Cheese: Spread 1 tablespoon of cream cheese on one side of each tortilla. This helps the quesadilla hold together and adds a creamy texture.

  • Cook the First Side: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, place one tortilla in the skillet and cook for about 1-2 minutes until it starts to crisp up slightly.

  • Assemble the Quesadilla: Add half of the buffalo chicken mixture on top of the tortilla. Then, sprinkle half of the shredded cheese mixture over the chicken. Place a second tortilla on top and press down gently.

  • Cook the Second Side: Cook for another 2-3 minutes, then flip the quesadilla carefully and cook the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and the cheese is melted.

  • Serve: Remove from the skillet and let it cool for a minute before slicing it into wedges. Serve with ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping, and garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley if desired.
