Ingredients
1 low-carb tortilla (or whole wheat tortilla)
1/2 cup shredded cooked chicken
1 tbsp plain Greek yogurt
1 Laughing Cow cheese wedge (light or original)
1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 tsp ranch seasoning
1/2 tbsp butter
Instructions
Step 1: Make the Filling
In a medium bowl, combine shredded chicken, Greek yogurt, Laughing Cow cheese wedge, mozzarella cheese, and ranch seasoning.
Mix everything together using a fork until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
Step 2: Assemble the Quesadilla
Lay the tortilla flat on a cutting board.
Spread the chicken mixture evenly over one half of the tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges. Fold the empty side over the filling to create a half-moon shape.
Step 3: Cook the Quesadilla
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt the butter.
Place the quesadilla in the skillet and cook for 2–3 minutes until the bottom becomes golden brown and crispy.
Carefully flip the quesadilla and cook for another 2–3 minutes until the other side is golden and the cheese inside is melted.
Step 4: Rest and Serve
Transfer the quesadilla to a cutting board and let it rest for 1 minute.
Slice into triangles and serve warm.
Notes
Rotisserie chicken works perfectly for quick preparation.
Add bell peppers, corn, or jalapeños for extra flavor and texture.
For a spicy version, mix buffalo sauce into the filling.
Serve with salsa, guacamole, or Greek yogurt dip.
