Low Carb BLT Cauliflower Quesadillas

These easy, low carb quesadillas are made with cauliflower and no one will know! Topped and filled with all the makings of a Bacon, Lettuce, Tomato sandwich but gluten free and low carb!

Crisp lettuce, juicy tomatoes on top of a cheesy bacon filled quesadilla makes for one delicious meal! Once I made my Cauliflower Tortilla recipe I envisioned many more recipes using them and this is a winner with my picky family!

These easy Cauliflower Tortillas don’t require a lot of work since everything gets prepared in your food processor then flattened as tortillas and baked. You can pre- make these or make them just for this recipe. The whole meal can be made in under 30 minutes!

You could even leave them open faced like this and call them a personal pizza!

But topping them with another tortilla turns them into an one of the best low carb quesadillas you’ve ever had!

You can really fill them with anything you like!

Maybe quite a simple meal but for busy moms like me, with 3 picky kids and one picky hubby, this makes us all pretty happy!

The recipe for the Cauliflower Tortillas is linked below as the first ingredient. If you make them ahead just store them in the fridge until you’re ready to make quesadillas.

Nutrition info below includes lettuce and tomato but not any optional toppings.

You might also want to make two batches of the tortillas so you can make this comforting Mexican Lasagna!

Enjoy!
