Cheesy Mexican Keto Quesadillas Recipe
Ingredients
Low-Carb Tortillas:
- 2 Eggs
- 2 Eggs White
- ¾ cup Cream Cheese
- ½ tsp Salt
- 1½ tsp Ground Psyllium Husk Powder
- 1 tbsp Coconut Flour
Filling:
- 1 tbsp Butter
- 1¼ cups Cheese
- 1 cup Baby Spinach
Instructions
Tortillas:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Using an electric mixer, beat eggs and egg whites together until fluffy. Add cream cheese and continue to beat until the batter is smooth.
- In a bowl, combine salt, psyllium husk and coconut flour. Mix well.
- Add the flour mixture into the batter while beating. When combined, let the batter sit for a few minutes. It should be thick like pancake batter. Your brand of psyllium husk powder affects this step — be patient… If it does not thicken enough, add some more.
- Place parchment paper on a baking sheet. Use a spatula to spread the batter over the parchment paper into a big rectangle. If you want round tortillas you can fry them in a frying pan like pancakes.
- Bake on the upper rack for about 5–10 minutes, until the tortilla turns brown around the edges. Keep your eye on the oven — don’t let these tasty creations burn on the bottom!
- Cut the big tortilla into smaller pieces (6 pieces per baking sheet).
Quesadillas:
- Heat oil or butter in a small, non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Put a tortilla in the frying pan and sprinkle with cheese, spinach and with some more cheese. Top with another tortilla.
- Fry each quesadilla for about a minute on each side. You’ll know it’s done when the cheese melts.
