If you're not familiar with quesadillas, they're part soft taco, part sandwich. The trademark ingredient is cheese, which is what binds all of the the filling ingredients together into a deliciously cheesey finger food! This recipe uses Sonora Keto Tortilla mix for a fantastic low-carb snack or dinner solution!
INGREDIENTS
Tortilla Ingredients
- 1 bag Sonora Keto Tortilla mix

Make 8 large tortillas using instructions on Sonora Keto Tortilla mix bag.
Step 2
In a medium skillet over medium-high heat with olive oil, saute bell pepper and onion and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a plate.
Step 3
In a medium bowl, stir together the cheese and chicken.
Step 4
