Cooking the Chicken and Mushroom Filling:
- In a small pan, melt a bit of butter over medium heat.
- Add the seasoned chicken mixture to the pan and cook for about 5 minutes until it’s heated through and has absorbed the flavors.
- Add the canned mushrooms (you can adjust the amount to your preference) to the pan and continue cooking for a few more minutes.
- Stir in about 2 tablespoons of cream cheese to make the filling creamy. Cook for a couple more minutes until everything is well incorporated, then remove the mixture from the pan and set it aside.
Assembling and Cooking the Quesadillas:
- In the same pan, add a bit more butter and place one low-carb keto tortilla in the pan.
- Spread a portion of the chicken and mushroom mixture onto one half of the tortilla.
- Drizzle some Sweet Baby Ray’s Buffalo Wing Sauce (or your preferred low-carb hot sauce) over the chicken mixture.
- Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded fiesta cheese (or your choice of low-carb cheese) on top of the chicken mixture.
- Fold the other half of the tortilla over the filling, creating a half-moon shape.
- Press down lightly with a spatula and cook for about 2 minutes on each side or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Making the Dipping Sauce:
