Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup (shredded) Cooked chicken breast
- 1 cup Reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 Whole wheat tortillas
- 1 medium (diced) Bell pepper
- 0.5 medium (thinly sliced) Red onion
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Cilantro
- 1 spray (as needed) Olive oil spray
- 0.5 cup (optional, for serving) Salsa
- 0.5 cup (optional, for serving) Plain non-fat Greek yogurt
Instructions
1. Preheat a non-stick skillet or flat griddle pan over medium heat.
2. In a small bowl, combine the shredded chicken breast, diced bell peppers, sliced red onion, and chopped cilantro.
3. Place a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of shredded cheese evenly over one half of the tortilla.
4. Spread about 1/4 of the chicken and vegetable mixture over the cheese. Sprinkle another 2 tablespoons of shredded cheese on top and fold the tortilla in half, pressing gently to seal.
5. Lightly spray the heated skillet or griddle with olive oil spray. Place the folded quesadilla in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese has melted.
6. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
7. Remove the quesadillas from the skillet and allow them to cool slightly. Then, slice each quesadilla into thirds or quarters.
8. Serve warm with salsa and plain non-fat Greek yogurt on the side, if desired.
