Simple recipes like this are my favorite to make. One of the surprise ingredients for this dish is coconut flour. Adding your favorite type of cheese creates a fun twist of flavor each time. Pair these delicious cheese melts with your favorite toppings, and you've got quite the fun and flavorful low carb treat.

I like to make these cheese tortillas for cravings when I'm craving Mexican food and I don't want to use flour tortillas or corn tortillas. Cooking these up in the frying pan takes minutes, which means I'm chowing down on a simple cheese quesadilla in no time at all.

I can't wait to try using these in my Keto Chicken Enchiladas and Keto Enchilada Casserole.

Once cooked, put the tortilla onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and place it in the oven to stay warm while the rest of the tortillas are cooked.

Top Tip💡

You must press down on the tortilla as it cooks. This is essential for it to hold together.

Variations

  • Spicy - If you're a fan of spicy cheese quesadillas, add some cayenne pepper, chili powder, or red pepper flakes to the ingredients.
  • Quesadilla - Turn this into a simple quesadilla recipe and add your favorite ingredients and toppings. You can add diced green onion, fresh cilantro, sour cream, and even cooked ground beef on top. Adding refried beans or black beans is a great way to boost the protein intake, and shredded chicken would turn this into the best chicken quesadilla recipe.
  • Kid friendly - Let the kids mix and match the cheese to create their own fun flavor.

Be sure to add this Keto Guacamole to your topping list for a fun flavor.

Equipment

As you can see from the step-by-step photos, you don't need a ton of equipment for this cheese tortilla recipe. A large nonstick skillet and mixing bowl are really the two items required to prep and cook.

Storage

Leftovers of this crispy cheese taco are simple to store. Let the leftover quesadillas cool down to room temperature, and then store them in an airtight container in the fridge. For the best results, eat within 1-2 days of storage.

To reheat, add them back to the frying pan for a couple of minutes will heat the entire surface quickly. You can also reheat it in the microwave if you prefer.

Common Questions

Do I need to add olive oil or butter to the frying pan?

You don't have to, but if you're worried that the tortilla mixture is going to stick, a little bit won't hurt.

Are these cheese quesadillas low carb?

Yes, my 2 ingredient keto tortillas are much lower in carbs than typical tortilla shells. If you're looking for specific nutritional value, check the recipe card below for the exact information.

Can I prep this recipe ahead of time?

For the best results, this cheese torilla recipe is best made fresh. Since there are only two ingredients that are needed to make these cheesy taco shells, making them ahead of time isn't the best. Once you mix, you want to cook right away.

How can I use cheese tortillas?

You can use these any way you would use grocery store tortillas. They are most pliable while still warm. So if you plan to use them in a recipe that requires them to roll up I would prep the fillings first and fill them as they are cooked.
I enjoy them in both Mexican dishes and American dishes. In my photos, I filled one with lettuce, chicken, bacon, and a drizzle of ranch. It was amazing.
