Ingredients
Scale
- 1 low-carb tortilla (e.g., Mission Carb Balance)
- ½ cup cooked and shredded chicken breast
- 1 tbsp plain Greek yogurt
- 1 Laughing Cow cheese wedge (light or original)
- ¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ tsp ranch seasoning
- ½ tbsp butter
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, Greek yogurt, the Laughing Cow cheese wedge, shredded mozzarella, and ranch seasoning. Use a fork to mix everything thoroughly until it’s creamy and well-combined.
- Assemble the Quesadilla: Lay your tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread the chicken and cheese filling evenly over one half of the tortilla.
- Cook the Quesadilla: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the ½ tablespoon of butter and let it melt, swirling to coat the pan. Once the butter is gently sizzling, carefully place the assembled quesadilla (filling side up, with the empty half folded over) into the center of the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes on the first side, allowing the cheese to melt and the tortilla to become golden brown and crispy.
- Flip the quesadilla and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the second side, until both sides are golden and crispy and the filling is hot and gooey.
- Rest and Serve: Once cooked, transfer the quesadilla to a cutting board. Let it rest for a minute or two before slicing into wedges. Serve hot.
