    3 tablespoons canola oil
    1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast, julienned
    1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
    1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
    2 dashes cayenne pepper
    1 1/2 tablespoons cumin
    1 clove garlic, minced
    1 red bell pepper, julienned
    1 green bell pepper, julienned
    1 small red onion, thinly sliced
    1 ounce tequila
    8 ounces Colby Jack cheese, Monterey Jack, or Cheddar, shredded
    2 tablespoons unsalted butter
    2 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro leaves
    2 tablespoons sliced scallions

    All-purpose soy flour flat bread (makes 2, but only use 1 for this quesadilla recipe):
    1 1/2 cups soy flour
    1/4 cup sugar substitute (recommended: Splenda)
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    3 eggs
    3/4 cup heavy cream
    1/3 cup club soda
    Non-stick vegetable oil cooking spray

    Special Equipment: 2 (12-inch) round aluminum pizza pans

    Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

    Make the soy flour flat bread: In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy flour, sugar substitute, salt, eggs, heavy cream, and club soda to make a smooth, thick, pancake-like batter. Spray pizza pans generously with the vegetable oil spray. Using a rubber spatula, spread the batter as thinly and evenly as possible over the 2 pans. Bake for about 12 to 15 minutes, or until lightly golden brown and firm to touch.

    In a large saute pan or wok, heat oil over high heat. Season the chicken with salt, pepper, cayenne, cumin, and garlic, and add to the hot oil. Next add the peppers and onions, and remove pan from the heat and add tequila. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until chicken is cooked thoroughly. Keep warm.

    Cut 1 flat bread into 4 pieces. On 2 pieces, layer cheese, cooked chicken mixture, and more cheese, and cover with the other 2 pieces. (Wrap the other flatbread and freeze for another use).

    Lastly, melt butter until very hot in a saute pan over medium-high heat. Add quesadillas and cook for about 2 minutes on each side until toasty and the cheese is melted. Cut quesadillas into 3 pieces each and serve. Garnish with cilantro and scallions, and serve with salsa picante, guacamole, and sour cream, if desired.


    AND WHAT EVERYONE WANTS TO SEE THE FINISHED STUFF

    I actually didn't do the flat bread, I just bought some atkin friendly tortilla wraps

    WOW! You put a lot of effort into the food and this thread! How long did it take you to make this all together?

    about 30 minutes.. I was saved cause I really didn't wanna do the flat bread...
    you can substitute the SOY FLOUR for REGULAR flour.. if you don't want the diet taste (if you want to make the flat bread...)

    you can also use traditional flavored wraps...
    I used integral wheat wraps

    It tasted like glory, and only 5carbs per quesadilla :) (only because of the wrap)
