Ingredients
  

For the Filling
  • 1 lb Ground Chicken (97/3)
  • 6 slices Bacon cut into strips
  • 2 Tbsp Ranch Seasoning
For the Quesadillas
  • 8 oz Cheddar shredded
  • 8 Tortillas 6" Mission Carb Balance tortillas recommended
  • 1 tsp Cooking spray optional

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Griddle
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Transfer the cooked bacon to a paper towel and drain the remaining grease.
  2. Add the ground chicken to the same skillet and cook until no pink remains.
  3. Add the ranch seasoning and cooked bacon pieces back to the ground chicken. Stir well until no visible ranch seasoning remains. Transfer the ground chicken mixture to a bowl and set aside.
  4. Place the skillet or a large griddle over medium-low to medium heat. Lightly spray with cooking spray and add a tortilla.
  5. Place 2 tablespoons of shredded cheese on one half of the tortilla, followed by about 40-45g of the ground chicken mixture, and another 2 tablespoons of cheese.
  6. Gently fold the tortilla in half using a spatula. Hold the top half closed for a few seconds to help the cheese melt. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side, until golden brown. Adjust heat if tortillas brown too quickly.
  7. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
