Ingredients

  • 2 almond flour tortillas

  • 1 large boneless, skinless chicken breast, cooked and shredded

  • 1 ripe avocado, sliced

  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

  • 1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced

  • 1 cup spinach leaves

  • 1 cup shredded low-fat cheese (such as cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for brushing)

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • Optional: Salsa or Greek yogurt for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken breast by cooking and shredding it. Slice the avocado, halve the cherry tomatoes, thinly slice the red onion, and gather the spinach leaves.

  2. On one half of each tortilla, evenly distribute the shredded chicken, avocado slices, cherry tomatoes, red onion, spinach, and shredded cheese. Season with salt and pepper.

  3. Fold the tortillas in half to cover the fillings, creating a half-moon shape. Brush the outside of each quesadilla lightly with olive oil.

  4. Heat a grill or non-stick pan over medium heat. Place the quesadillas on the grill or pan and cook until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese has melted, about 3-4 minutes on each side.

  5. Remove the quesadillas from the heat, allow to cool slightly, and then cut into wedges.

  6. If desired, serve with salsa or a dollop of Greek yogurt on the side.

Enjoy this simple, satisfying meal that's perfect for anyone managing diabetes or looking for a health-conscious dish.
