Substitutions
- Gluten Free or Keto - Change out the wrap in order to fit your diet so you can enjoy this delicious recipe. If using small wraps (like the small keto wraps available at Costco), you will need 8 wraps. Use 2 wraps (top and bottom) for each quesadilla.
- Chicken Breast - Use 2 cooked chicken breast (chopped in small cubes or shredded) instead of the canned chicken.
- Onions - Add ¼ cup of finely diced red onion to the filling mixture (optional).
Storage
Store any leftover Chicken Spinach Quesadilla into an airtight container. Place in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Keep these in the freezer for up to a month by wrapping them individually so you can warm them up anytime for a quick snack.
