Keto Chicken Quesadilla w/ Avocado & Jalapeño

A chicken quesadilla w/ jack cheese and jalapeño (often also with steak) was one of my favorite meals during my teen years. Combine it with some sour cream and delicious salsa and I’d be in heaven.

Because of the high carbs in the tortilla wraps, quesadillas have been out of my diet since I started keto. Luckily, I’ve been eating keto-friendly low-carb wraps (6 g of carbs) for lunch over the recent weeks, and I started to realize that I could reignite my childhood delights with a low carb keto-friendly chicken quesadilla!

I’m always buying low carb wraps from Mission and green salsa from Mrs. Renfro’s. I must say that Mrs. Renfro’s is the best salsa I’ve ever had!

This homemade chicken quesadilla turned out to be even more delicious than what I had during my childhood years because I have the liberty to use any ingredients to season the chicken and I can also add as much cheese as I want.

Here’s the recipe:
