Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by dicing your chicken into small, even pieces. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the chicken to the skillet, seasoning it with cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Sauté for about 6-8 minutes.
  3. Remove the cooked chicken and set it aside. In the same skillet, sauté diced bell peppers and onions for about 5 minutes.
  4. In a separate skillet, preheat it over medium heat and place a low-carb tortilla, layering it with cheese, chicken, and veggies.
  5. Fold the tortilla and cook for 3-4 minutes on one side and then flip to cook the other side until golden.
  6. Remove the quesadilla from the skillet, let it cool slightly, slice, and serve with sour cream, salsa, or guacamole.
