Easy Sheet Pan Chicken Quesadillas | Low Carb & Keto!

Why cook quesadillas in the oven?

Making low carb sheet pan chicken quesadillas is actually easier! If you have a family to feed, or just want to make more than one quesadilla, then this is the way to go. By cooking quesadillas on a sheet pan, you can cook the quesadillas all at once, instead of having to cook them all individually. Plus, they come out perfectly crispy!

What are the best low carb tortillas for quesadillas?

My favorite tortillas for low carb quesadillas are Mission’s Carb Balance Flour Tortillas. These tortillas are only 4 g net carbs and seriously taste just like a regular tortilla. Because they are flour-based, they are also super malleable and won’t fall apart like most gluten-free tortillas. That makes them great to make into delicious quesadillas, burritos, tacos, and more!

You can usually find these tortillas at your local grocery store if you only want to get one pack (even I can find them in my tiny town!) But, I also included an Amazon link with some nice choices below:

What is the best way to shred chicken for quesadillas?

It all depends on what equipment you have in your kitchen. Depending on your appliances, you have a few options:

1. Shred chicken by hand or with two forks.
2. Shred chicken using a stand mixer – This is probably one of the most popular suggestions for easy chicken shredding.
3. You can shred chicken using a blender – To shred chicken this way, simply break the chicken up into a few pieces and use the pulse setting on your blender, only for a few seconds. Be sure to shred the chicken in small batches, and be careful not to over pulse the chicken. Use caution! Pulsing too much can result in over shredded chicken that basically resembles chicken dust.
