You will need:
Some "healthy" quesadilla tortillas. Look at the fat, fiber, protein contents. Anything with high fiber, flax seed, whole wheat, etc can work. We also REALLY like a product called Joseph Lavish's which is at most Walmarts.
1. Cut up a couple tomatoes, onions and sweet peppers (yellow, orange and red). Put in bowls off to the side.
2. Grill some chicken breasts and use about 5 oz per Quesadilla/Lavish. Cut up into small bite size pieces.
3. Baby Spinach
4. Cummin and Chilli powder
5. Shredded Kraft Fat Free Cheddar Cheese or Shredded Mozzarella.
In a skillet (we love and use cast iron skillets), spray with cooking spray and put a couple teaspoons of olive oil in the pan. On an electric stove we put the temp to about 5. Before the pan gets too hot, take your Quesadilla/Lavish and run it over the olive oil, coating the bottom so it will brown. On one half of the Lavish/Quesadilla, put the cut up Chicken Breast then sprinkle the cummin and chilli powder over it. Add Tomatoes, onions, peppers, then about a cup of the spinach. Finish off with about 1/2 cup of the shredded cheese. Fold the unused half to cover the ingredients. After a few minutes you will need to turn the quesadilla over to brown the other side and get the cheese to melt. If some of the ingredients spill out, that's ok. Once the second side is browned, carefully put it onto a plate. If any of the ingredients spilled out now would be the time to scoop them out of the pan and put them back into the quesadilla. Let it sit a couple minutes to firm up and serve! This is a healthy meal complete with good carbs (whole wheat quesadilla/lavish), protein (chicken) and vegetables. The fats you get are good fats and from the olive oil, chicken breast and little in the shells if you use something with flax seed for instance. Everyone we have made this for absolutely loves it!
