Upper Ques!
This simple recipe lets you make low cal quesadillas that could be easily mistaken for the fat-filled real thing. Need we say more? Go try it out!

Ingredients:
1 La Tortilla Factory Low Carb, Low Fat Whole Wheat Tortilla (small size)
1/4 cup shredded fat free cheddar cheese (or ff mozzarella, ff american, ff jack)
2 oz. chicken breast, grilled and sliced
1 Tbsp. green onion, diced
1 Tbsp. salsa
1 tsp. light sour cream

Directions:
In a pan lightly spritzed with nonstick cooking spray, set down your tortilla. Spread the cheese, chicken and green onion evenly on top. Let set (cheese will just be beginning to melt), then fold over. Cook on medium heat for a minute or so, flipping quesadilla halfway in between. Slide your quesadilla onto a plate and serve with the salsa and sour cream. Enjoy!

    they sound good.

    I can't believe the taco bell numbers- I don't think I wanted to know that. I used to go to tacobell and get a chicken quesadilla AND a spicy chicken crunchwrap supreme. I don't even want to know what that lunch cost me in calories. :noway:
