Healthy Quesadillas

2 tablespoons chicken broth
1/4 cup onions, chopped
1 small garlic clove, minced
1/4 cup bell peppers, chopped
2 chili peppers (to taste), minced
3 plum tomatoes, chopped
nonstick cooking spray
8 flour tortillas
1 cup low-fat cheddar cheese, shredded
1 1/2 cups cooked chicken
salsa
fat-free sour cream
In a medium-heavy skillet, saute the onions, garlic and peppers until soft in the 2 tablespoons chicken broth. Add the chili peppers and tomatoes and simmer for a few minutes more until the liquid has evaporated. Add the chicken and stir well to combine. Spray a cold skillet with the nonstick spray and heat over medium heat. Place a tortilla in the pan and sprinkle with 1/8 cup cheese. Add about a quarter of the chicken mixture and top with another 1/8 cup cheese.

Cover with another tortilla and cook for two to three minutes or until golden brown. Flip the quesadilla over and cook for an additional two minutes. Remove from the heat and cut into edges. Keep warm while frying the remaining quesadillas. Serve with salsa and fat-free sour cream.

I got a Quesadilla maker about 5 years ago for my wedding shower, and it is the best gift I ever got. It is so easy to use and makes a quesadilla in about 4-5 minutes. You can add any ingredients to the tortillas and not even cook them ahead of time.

They sell them at Walmart, Target, and Bed, Bath and Beyond for like $20.00.
