  2. Assemble the Quesadilla: Place a low-carb tortilla in the skillet, spread the chicken filling onto half of the tortilla, and sprinkle ½ cup of cheese on top. Fold the tortilla over to encase the filling.
  3. Cook Until Crispy: Cook the quesadilla on one side for about 4-5 minutes until golden brown, then flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes until crispy and cheese is melted.
  4. Slice and Serve: Remove from the skillet, let cool slightly, then slice into triangles. Serve with optional toppings like guacamole or sriracha.
