Ingredients

  • 8 whole-wheat tortillas or whole-grain
  • 1 cup cooked chicken breasts chopped/shredded, skin and bones removed (rotisserie or leftover chicken may be used)
  • 3/4 cup cheddar cheese low-fat, shredded, substitute with monterey jack, or quesillo (a Mexican string cheese)
  • 3/4 cup Greek yogurt plain, non-fat or non-fat sour cream
  • 3/4 cup Tex Mex salsa
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  • Add half of the olive oil to coat a pan over medium heat. Add 2 whole wheat tortillas (or as many as will fit in the pan), cover with an even layer of the cheese and the chicken breast meat, and top with a second tortilla. Optionally, the salsa may be added to the shredded chicken and cooked with the quesadilla, rather than served on top after it is cooked.
  • Once the tortillas are golden brown on one side, carefully flip until golden brown on the other side. Remove tortillas and place on a platter. Repeat with the second batch. Top with sour cream/ Greek yogurt and salsa to serve.
