Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Whole-wheat tortilla
- 0.25 cup Shredded reduced-fat Mexican cheese blend
- 1 spray Cooking spray
- 2 cups Romaine lettuce, chopped
- 0.5 cup Grape tomatoes, halved
- 0.25 cup Canned black beans, rinsed and drained
- 0.25 cup Frozen sweet corn, thawed
- 2 tablespoons Sliced jalapeños (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Chunky salsa
- 1 tablespoon Light sour cream
- 1 tablespoon Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly spray it with cooking spray.
Place the whole-wheat tortilla in the skillet and sprinkle one-half of it evenly with the shredded reduced-fat Mexican cheese blend.
Fold the tortilla in half, pressing gently with a spatula, and cook for about 2 minutes on each side until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Transfer the finished quesadilla to a cutting board and let it cool slightly before slicing it into bite-sized triangles.
In a large salad bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, halved grape tomatoes, black beans, thawed sweet corn, and sliced jalapeños (if using).
In a small bowl, mix the chunky salsa and light sour cream to create a tangy dressing.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
Top the salad with the quesadilla triangles and sprinkle fresh cilantro on top, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy this deliciously satisfying salad!
