When buffalo chicken meets a crispy cheese shell!

This one is such a fun low-carb twist on a classic quesadilla. Instead of a traditional tortilla, the cheese bakes into a golden, crispy shell that holds all that spicy buffalo chicken perfectly. 🤤

It’s quick, satisfying, and seriously delicious with a little ranch or sour cream on the side. One of those keto meals that proves you don’t need tortillas to make a great quesadilla!

**Servings:** 2

### Ingredients

- **1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (113 g)**
- **1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (113 g)**
- **¼ cup Frank’s RedHot Sauce (60 ml)**
- **2 tbsp butter (28 g), melted**
- **1 cup shredded cooked chicken (about 140 g)**

### Directions

1. Preheat the oven to **400°F (200°C)**. Combine the hot sauce and melted butter in a small bowl. Pour the mixture over the shredded chicken and toss until evenly coated.
2. Transfer the chicken to a baking dish and bake for **14 minutes**, stirring once halfway through.
3. Line a pizza pan with **parchment paper**. Do not use wax paper.
4. Combine the cheddar and mozzarella, then spread the cheese evenly over the parchment in a circular shape.
5. Bake the cheese for **5 minutes**, or until melted and lightly golden. Carefully drain off any excess oil immediately after removing it from the oven.
6. Spoon the buffalo chicken over one half of the cheese shell. Fold the other half over the filling and press gently to seal.
7. Return the quesadilla to the oven for another **4–5 minutes**, until crisp and golden.
8. Serve with sour cream or ranch dressing. Garnish with chopped fresh basil, parsley, or cilantro if desired.
