Ingredients
  

Tortilla dough:

  • ¼ cup coconut flour
  • 1 cup finely ground almond flour
  • 1 t xanthan gum
  • ¼ t sea salt
  • 1 large egg beaten
  • 2 T water

Filling:

  • ¾ cup diced cooked chicken breast
  • ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tomato diced
  • 1 onion diced
  • ¼ cup chopped jalapeño pepper or to taste
  • Sea salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 T fresh lime juice
  • 1 T chopped fresh cilantro
  • ¼ cup sour cream for serving optional
  • Pico de gallo optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a bowl, combine the coconut flour, almond flour, xanthan gum, and sea salt. Add the egg and water and knead the dough until smooth. Divide the dough into 4 balls and on a flat surface, roll them between 2 sheets of parchment.
  • In a skillet, cook each tortilla over medium heat for about 1 minute on each side. Arrange 2 tortillas on the prepared baking sheet and sprinkle them with half the cheese. Add the chicken, tomato, onion, and jalapeño. Season with sea salt and black pepper. Drizzle with the lime juice and the remaining half of the cheese. Place a tortilla on top.
  • Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
  • Bake the quesadillas for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted. Cut the quesadillas into four pieces and serve topped with cilantro, sour cream, or pico de gallo, if using.
