Ingredients Method Nutrition Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup cooked chicken shredded
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Optional toppings: sour cream guacamole, salsa

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour half of the egg mixture into the skillet, swirling to coat the bottom evenly. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the edges start to set.
  3. Sprinkle half of the cheddar and mozzarella cheese over the egg base, then add half of the shredded chicken on top of the cheese.
  4. Carefully fold the quesadilla in half and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the egg is fully cooked.
  5. Remove from the skillet and repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to make a second quesadilla.
  6. Slice each quesadilla into wedges and serve warm with optional toppings like sour cream, guacamole, or salsa.
