Keto Quesadillas

(from desert.rose32’s recipe box)

Categories: keto

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced
  • 1/2 yellow onion, sliced
  • 1/2 tsp. chili powder
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 c. shredded Monterey Jack
  • 3 c. shredded cheddar
  • 4 c. shredded chicken
  • 1 avocado, thinly sliced
  • 1 green onion, thinly sliced
  • Sour cream, for serving

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400ยบ and line two medium baking sheets with parchment paper.

  2. In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil. Add pepper and onion and season with chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until soft, 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

  3. In a medium bowl, stir together cheeses. Add 1 1/2 cups of cheese mixture into the center of both prepared baking sheets. Spread into an even layer and shape into a circle, the size of a flour tortilla.

  4. Bake cheeses until melty and slightly golden around the edge, 8 to 10 minutes. Add onion-pepper mixture, shredded chicken, and avocado slices to one half of each. Let cool slightly, then use the parchment paper and a small spatula to gently lift and fold one side of the cheese “tortilla” over the side with the fillings. Return to oven to heat, 3 to 4 minutes more. Repeat to make 2 more quesadillas.

  5. Cut each quesadilla into quarters. Garnish with green onion and sour cream before serving.
