Name: Keto Chicken and Pepper Quesadilla - BeKeto™
Total time: 25 min
Yield: 2 servings
Cuisine: Mexican
Ingredients: 2 BeKeto Keto Tortillas; 150 g chicken breast; 120 g cheddar or manchego cheese; 70 g red pepper; 30 g red onion; 1 tablespoon olive oil; 1 teaspoon BeKeto Clarified Butter Ghee; 1 teaspoon smoked paprika; 0.5 teaspoon cumin; 2 tablespoons BeKeto Keto Mayonnaise; 1 garlic clove; 1 tablespoon lime juice; 45 g avocado

A keto quesadilla stands or falls with the right tortilla — and this is where most recipes fail, using thin, flavourless alternatives. The BeKeto Keto Tortilla retains the elasticity and structure needed for folding, frying and achieving a crispy exterior with melted cheese inside.

The filling is chicken seasoned with smoked paprika and cumin — the classic Mexican flavour profile — with pepper and onion sautéed until slightly crisp. Everything fried in BeKeto Clarified Butter Ghee, which thanks to its high smoke point delivers a golden crust without burning. To serve: lime aioli made with BeKeto Keto Mayonnaise and fresh avocado guacamole.

Preparation time is 25 minutes. One serving provides 718 kcal, 53 g fat and 10 g net carbs — a complete, satisfying lunch or dinner.

Preparation:

Order matters: chicken first, then vegetables in the same fat, finally assemble and fry the quesadilla. Place cheese both under and over the filling — it binds everything together as it melts.

Cut the chicken into small cubes. Season with smoked paprika, cumin, salt and pepper.

Heat the oil in the pan and fry the chicken over medium heat for a few minutes until golden and juicy. Remove from the pan leaving the fat behind.

Cut the pepper into thin strips and the onion into julienne. Sauté in the chicken fat until lightly golden but still crisp. Transfer to a separate bowl.

Heat the BeKeto Clarified Butter Ghee in the pan and place the BeKeto Keto Tortilla in. Layer on the tortilla: most of the grated cheese, the chicken, vegetables and the rest of the cheese. Cover with the second tortilla.

Fry for 2–3 minutes on each side until the tortilla is golden and crispy and the cheese has melted perfectly. Cut into triangles.

In a bowl combine the BeKeto Keto Mayonnaise, pressed garlic, lime juice and a pinch of salt. Stir until smooth.

Mash the avocado with a fork into a paste. Add lime juice, salt, pressed garlic and chilli flakes. Optionally add coriander, tomato or red onion. Serve the quesadilla with aioli and guacamole.
