Instructions:
- Prepare the Tortilla:
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, salt, and water until smooth.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with a bit of oil.
- Pour a small amount of the batter into the skillet, spreading it out to form a thin, round tortilla. Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining batter to make more tortillas.
- Prepare the Filling:
- In a bowl, mix the shredded chicken with garlic powder, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper.
- If using, sauté the diced bell peppers and onions in a skillet with a bit of oil until softened.
- Assemble the Quesadilla:
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of oil.
- Place one tortilla in the skillet. Sprinkle with cheddar and mozzarella cheese, then add the seasoned chicken on top. If using, add the sautéed bell peppers and onions.
- Place another tortilla on top and press down gently. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is golden brown and crispy.
- Serve:
- Remove from the skillet and let it cool for a minute before cutting into wedges.
- Serve with your favorite keto-friendly salsa, sour cream, or avocado.
