These Gluten Free Chicken Quesadillas are one of our top pinned recipes on Pinterest, and deserved a second photo shoot.
You may think we are just being lazy (we are) but we wanted to jump these bad boys to the front of our blog because they are that good. We used hummus and chopped avocado to give these “quesadillas” the same creamy texture, without the queso. Then we loaded grilled chicken and veggies between two brown rice tortillas for a guilt-free, healthy upgrade.
Thank you guys for loving this recipe. 🙂

Can you give some tips on ordering clean Mexican food? It is my weakness.
Whole Foods doesn’t carry brown rice tortillas. Where do you but yours?
Hi Carmen, my Whole Foods does have brown rice tortillas but they are usually in a funny section with the hummus. Trader Joes also has brown rice tortillas!
Love this! Love your blog too:) Thanks for posting!!
PS: We made these with pinto beans instead of chicken to make them vegan and they were fab!
Awesome! Great idea 🙂

Hi! We just bought ours at Trader Joes! Any brown rice/corn tortilla that you can find would work for a gluten free option. 🙂
Hi Bettina! We bought our brown rice tortillas at Trader Joes! Any brown rice/corn/gluten free tortilla you can buy at your grocery store will work! Keep it brown rice if you are doing the Clean Program. 🙂
