Easy Cheesy Quesadillas Fiesta Friday:)

[Creekimp13 5,841]

For these guys...I use La Banderita Carb Counter whole wheat wraps for the tortillas.

I'm not a carb counter...but these low carb whole wheat wraps taste great, only 50 calories per wrap, 4g of Protein per wrap, and a whopping 11 grams of awesome dietary Fiber per wrap! Go fiber!

This recipe will make a BIG quesadilla. You'll only be able to eat a quarter to a half of it...so enlist help:)

Throw one whole wheat tortilla wrap in a very hot pan.

Top with the following:

2 T. Fresh chopped Tomato

2 T. fresh chopped red onion

1 T. Black Beans

2 T. frozen sweet corn kernels.

1/4 cup of shredded reduced fat colby jack cheese

Any kinda shredded meat that you like...chicken, pork, beef,...optional, but gives you extra protein bang for your buck and tastes great. (this is an awesome way to use up that little bit of grilled chicken/steak that you brought home from a restaurant cause you don't need a lot)

Also great to eat these vegetarian style with just the cheese.

Put another whole wheat tortilla wrap on top...cover to melt the cheese before you flip it....and cook both sides until it starts to brown and get crispy.

Cut it into 8 wedges with a pizza cutter and serve with salsa, hot sauce, cilantro, gracamole, whatever you like on a quesadilla.

Good family food, cause you can eat the fancy whole wheat wraps and the family can eat regular tortillas. Add other toppings. Maybe you like olives or cactus or hot peppers? Everyone make their own:)

You could serve with refried beans, pico de gallo, lime, whatever your family enjoys.

I got my wraps at Meijer...a big food store chain here. I've seen them at Walmart, and you can pick them up on Amazon pantry through the mail.

Here's the amazon link...remember this price is for FOUR packages of 8 of them. They do freeze ok:)

These are also awesome for sandwich wraps for packed lunches on the go.....I like to pack them with tomatoes, basil, balsamic Syrup drizzle, lettuce, avacado and turkey bacon or fresh mozerella (or both) BLT wraps are a favorite.
