- 2 Cups Quesadilla cheese

Instructions

Make the Keto Quesadillas
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and spray with cooking spray.
- Lay one of the tortillas in the skillet and top half with ¼ cup of the cheese. Layer ¼th of the chicken mixture on top, followed by ¼ cup of the cheese. Fold the tortilla in half and cook until the bottom is brown and the cheese starts to melt.
- Flip the quesadilla and cook for a few minutes more on the other side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Continue with the remaining 4 quesadillas.
- Cut each one in half and serve with sour cream and quacamole.
