When I am craving something a little more carb like but don’t want to break my carb bank, I always look to making the recipe for Low Carb Buffalo Chicken Quesadilla. By using a low carb tortilla wrap, I can cut my net carbs down to 7!
This very simple to make appetizer or snack recipe is made with only 5 ingredients and so tasty! While you may not have as crispy of a tortilla as you may have with a regular flour tortilla, you will still have a delicious treat to enjoy when still sticking to your low carb diet!
When I’m on my own for a meal, I like to make something quick, easy, and for the most part, good for me. The night I made this quesadilla I was craving the buffalo chicken flavor. I had some leftover roasted chicken breast and decided to try a quesadilla.
Which low carb tortilla did I use for this quesadilla recipe?
For this particular recipe I used Trader Joe’s Low Carb Whole Wheat Tortilla. One tortilla is only 3 net carbs and perfect for a low carb diet. I felt no guilt whatsoever by doubling the tortilla up and having 6 net carbs! They are full of fiber and super delicious!

These are my FAVORITE! I would pay for these in a restaurant. So hard to believe their PPV is so low!!
Those low carb tortillas are real lifesavers. It keeps me toeing the line when I crave quesadillas and tacos (which is often!) I love that this one is Buffalo-centric too. The hot wing flavors are another crave worth relenting to.
I love the crumbled blue cheese in these…so much flavor!
These are going to be a surefire hit at our house. We love quesadillas and all things buffalo chicken!
I love everything about this recipe! Can’t get a better quesadilla than one with Buffalo chicken
I love having quesadillas when I’m fixing a meal for just me. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner!
These sound like a tasty twist on quesedillas, and easy too!
Great recipe! My husband and I are trying really hard to eat better and get back into healthier shape, so I’ll definitely be making this recipe in the New Year.
One question – your ingredient list calls for avocado oil but the instructions call for butter. I think one or the other need to be updated, or did I misread something?
Quesadillas are my go to also when I’m by myself or don’t know what to eat. There are so many ways to make them, and I love the idea of buffalo flavored.
We love quesadillas and Buffalo chicken ones sound amazing! I think the kids will love them.
