I've read a lot about using tortilla's to make little pizzas to cut back on carbs and calories and whatnot. I decided to twist it up a little bit. Here's what I came up with:

Italian-Style Quesadilla - Basil Pesto, Mozzarella, Salami

1 WW Tortilla (45g)
Basil Pesto Sauce (19g, ~1 T)
Part-Skim Shredded Mozzerella (29g, ~1/4 c)
Hard Salami (10g, ~1 slice)

Baked for about 5 minutes at 375 open-faced (til it was melted and bubbly and yummy-looking). Then I pulled it out and folded it over, and stuck it back in to let the tortilla toast a little more - about another 5 minutes or so. Pulled it out and let it sit for about another 5 minutes. It was really good - and my 5 year-old loved it, too!

~ 350 calories for the whole quesadilla

You could dip them in sauce if you wanted, or something. Or switch things up and make your own style! :smile:
