Quesadillas

Cinco de Mayo!! We celebrated the American-Mexican holiday by eating quesadillas for dinner. We love all kinds of ethnic foods in our house! Of course I had to make them with a healthy twist. :)

Ingredients:

  • 6 Ezekiel Tortillas
  • 1/2 pepper, chopped
  • 1/4 onion, chopped
  • 1/2 cup mushrooms
  • 1 can diced tomatoes, no salt added, drained
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese
  • 2-3 cups spinach
  • 4-5 chicken tenderloins
  • 1-2 Tsp taco seasoning (I made my own)
  • Salsa
  • Avocado, diced
Directions:
  1. Add the onions, peppers, and mushrooms to a pan over medium-high heat. 
  2. While the vegetables are cooking, grill the chicken and sprinkle the taco seasoning over it.
  3. After the veggies are tender, remove them from the pan and add the spinach. Cook just a few minutes until the leaves are wilted. 
  4. In a clean pan and hot pan, add 1 tortilla round, sprinkle with cheese, add the spinach, veggie mix, cut up chicken, a little more cheese and the other tortilla round. Cook for a few minutes over medium heat and then flip.
  5. Top with salsa and avocado.
Enjoy!
