Low Carb Mushroom Ham Cheese Quesadillas. You may think that it might be kinda difficult to make these Mushroom Ham Cheese Quesadillas low carb but you would be wrong. There are lot of recipes on the internet but this may be the lowest carb quesadilla you will find as they are made with my Flaxseed Meal Crêpes which have virtually zero carbs in them.
They are not going to be crispy like a quesadilla made with a flour tortilla but they are crispy, can be picked up like any other quesadilla and taste great never-the-less. In fact they don’t even taste like a Mexican dish as they do not have Mexican spices or flavors of any kind so get that out of your mind. The dippings in the bowl were sour cream and a roasted red pepper aïoli made to look like Yin & Yang. Don’t know if I nailed the food styling but this recipe is spot on.
