Can I use shredded rotisserie chicken for the High-Protein Chicken Ranch Quesadilla?

Yes. Rotisserie chicken works well. Shred it while warm so it mixes easily with the yogurt.

How do I prevent a soggy quesadilla?

Keep the filling thin. Pre-cook or drain high-moisture ingredients. Use medium heat to crisp the tortilla while melting the cheese.

Can I make this gluten-free?

Yes. Use certified gluten-free low-carb tortillas or corn tortillas. Check that the ranch seasoning is gluten-free.

Is this recipe keto-friendly?

With low-carb tortillas and minimal yogurt, it can fit a lower-carb plan. Choose high-fat yogurt or reduce tortillas for stricter keto.
