KICKIN' BBQ CHICKEN QUESADILLA



Kickin' BBQ Chicken Quesadilla image

Most people use 6-inch tortillas for tacos, but we apply healthy new math and use them for quesadillas. Upsizing to an 8-inch tortilla nearly doubles the surface area, meaning twice as much cheesy filling. Suddenly, your sensible meal becomes an 800-calorie heavyweight. Start with a 6-incher, and pile on the lean meats, veggies, and cheese. Crisp in a hot skillet with cooking spray instead of butter to save 7g sat fat.

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 ounces chopped roasted chicken breast
3 tablespoons grated Mexican-blend cheese
1 tablespoon barbecue sauce
1 tablespoon diced red onion
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
2 (6-inch) flour tortillas
Cooking spray

Steps:

  • Place first 6 ingredients on 1 tortilla; top with second tortilla. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add quesadilla to pan; cook 1 minute on each side or until golden.
