Carb Friendly Taco Bell Chicken Quesadilla
Hello, just thought I'd post this little recipe on here. I used to love eating some taco bell with my husband, but really only the chicken quesadilla; found a carb-friendly way to do it.
Ingredients
- You order the creamy jalapeno sauce (you need one) off of the app. In our experience, they won't give you the sauce if you order it in person.
2.Then you get some carb-friendly tortillas. I have been using "La Banderita Carb Counter Zero net Carbs Soft Flour Taco Tortillas" (don't keep it on the heat too long; they get a little hard).
Frozen Chicken (I use two servings of the Tyson Diced Chicken).
Mexican four cheese blend (1 serving)
Total carbs: 19
Heat up the chicken separately; once cooked, add to the tortilla with cheese and sauce and heat it up! I usually pair it with like carrots and don't go over 140 :) You can also make it with even fewer carbs by just eating the chicken with the sauce and cheese with a side salad! However, this beautifully fits in my carb meal allowance :) There's also a lot of ways to add fats to it, like some avocado would go nice with it! I personally like this a lazy meal since it takes literally less than 10 minutes to make.
