Yummy Quesadillas

THIS was a good recipe... even the boy liked it.  I found a fantastic new blog with what looks like LOTS of good recipes that I am going to go on trying.  The only changes I made to this one were due to available products.  The 'cooking' process for this is well explained and very simple, too.... leaving room to 'custom' make for different members of the family... Kyle's had only cheese and chicken, while Chris' I could add jalepanos to it and not mess with the kids.

The seasoning of this chicken I will CERTAINLY use again... it would be great in a wrap or on a salad... VERY tasty sitting next to your favorite veggies, too!

Chicken Quesadillas (click link for original recipe)

           16 oz skinless chicken breast, fat trimmed

·         cumin

·         oregano

·         garlic salt

·         fresh pepper

·         cooking spray

·         1 small onion cut into strips

·         1 bell pepper (red or green) cut into strips

·         1 clove garlic, minced

·         1 tbsp oil

·         2 cups shredded non fat cheddar cheese
        
        1 small can of green chiles

·         10 Non fat flour torillas


Slice chicken breast in half so you have 4 cutlets. Season chicken generously with salt, pepper, cumin, oregano and garlic powder.

Lightly spray a skillet on medium heat with oil or if using a grill, grill chicken until cooked on both sides. Remove from heat and cut chicken into strips, set aside. To the skillet, add 1 tbsp oil and cook onions and peppers, season with salt and pepper. Cook about 2 minutes, add garlic and continue cooking until vegetables are soft being careful not to burn the garlic. When cooked, set aside.
Heat skillet on medium heat and lightly spray with oil. Add tortilla, top with cheese, chicken, onions, peppers, and pico de gallo or avocado-mango salsa. Top with the other tortilla. Cheese should be melted and the bottom of the tortilla should be golden brown. Put a plate on top of the quesadilla to flip it over onto the plate. Then slide the other side onto the skillet. Cook another minute and remove with a spatula. Cut into wedges and serve with sour cream if you wish

my counts with the ingredients that I used were 11 points each quesadilla....  They were very filling.  I ate mine with 2 Tbsp no fat sour cream (which added 2 points but was worth it)  I also included some salsa on top...
