I think I may have just discovered the greatest thing ever. CHEESE TORTILLA QUESADILLA!
A quesadilla…with a cheese tortilla.
I’ve been messing around with a keto diet and it’s been sooooo fun to experiment with all these new recipes! For those of you who don’t know, keto is focused on low carb and high fat foods.
AKA CHEESE AND MEAT ALL DAY BABY!!!!
Not only is this totally carb-free, but it is absolutely delicious and honestly…I’ll probably make my quesadillas this way all the time.
And it’s super easy!
You can find all my keto recipes at Vic’s Tricks To…KETO!
On a parchment-lined baking sheet, spread an even layer of cheese into a circle, about the size of a regular tortilla.
Vic Trick: Make sure the cheese is laid totally evenly or some parts will brown before others.
Bake in a 400° oven until cheese is melted and the edges are slightly browned.
Remove from the oven and top half of the “tortilla” with whatever filling you desire.
Some of my favorite fillings are chicken, salsa or pico de gallo, guacamole, and of course…MORE CHEESE!
Then use the parchment to fold over the tortilla so it forms a quesadilla. Cook again in the oven for about 3 minutes, then slice and enjoy!
So easy and sooooo cheesy.
