Preparation Steps

  1. Prepare the Cheese Mixture:
    • In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, diced jalapeños, crumbled bacon (if using), and chopped cilantro (if using). Mix until well combined.
  2. Assemble the Quesadillas:
    • Spread the cheese mixture evenly over one low-carb tortilla, leaving the edges clear to prevent spilling.
    • Place the second tortilla on top, creating a filled sandwich.
  3. Cook the Quesadillas:
    • Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of butter or oil.
    • Place the assembled quesadilla in the skillet and press lightly.
    • Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
  4. Slice and Serve:
    • Remove from the skillet and let rest for a minute before slicing into wedges.
    • Serve hot with keto-friendly sour cream, salsa, or guacamole if desired.

Tips

  • Low-Carb Tortillas: For the best results, use low-carb tortillas made from almond flour or coconut flour, which are widely available in stores or can be made at home.
  • Spice Level: Adjust the amount of diced jalapeños to suit your spice preference. For a milder option, use fewer jalapeños or remove the seeds.
  • Crispiness: Ensure your skillet is hot before adding the quesadilla to get a crispy exterior. Avoid overcrowding the pan for even cooking.
