Equipment

  • Mixing Bowls
  • Frying Pan

Ingredients
  

  • 6 low carb tortillas
Fillings:
  • 1 cup corn cut off the cob
  • 1 cup red pepper diced
  • 1 cup green pepper diced
  • 3/4 cup onion diced
  • 1 tbsp taco seasoning
  • 1 cup chicken cooked and cooled and diced
  • 2 cups fat free cheddar
Cilantro lime crema:
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp light Mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup Cilantro
  • 1 clove Garlic
  • 1 Lime juice and zest
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions
 

  • Combine all crema ingredients in a mixing bowl and adjust seasonings to taste. Let sit in fridge until you're ready to use.
  • Season and cook chicken using your preferred method, chop into small pieces, and set aside. Chop all of your vegetables, season with taco seasoning, and saute peppers, onion, and corn together over medium heat until just soft. Set aside to cool slightly.
  • Combine chicken and sauteed veggies in a bowl and mix together. Add cheese to mixture and mix well to combine.
  • Put 2/3 cup of filling onto half each tortilla, then fold tortilla over to cover.
  • Spray frying pan well and pan fry each tortilla for roughly 2 minutes on each side, until browned and cheese is melted.
  • Cut each quesadilla into 3 pieces, serve with your choice of toppings and cilantro lime crema. Enjoy!

Notes

Each quesadilla is 3 WW points when made with a low-carb tortilla (I use Tumaro's wraps). You can add the quesadillas to your WW app here and add the cilantro lime crema here.
