QUESADILLAS
If you've ever ordered a quesadilla in a restaurant you know two things are certain. Number one, they're huge. Number two, they're typically loaded with cheese, sour cream, and if you're lucky, guacamole.
They're ridiculously
high in fat, yet for some reason people often order them as a "light" meal.
Here's my favorite speedy, home-made version. It's low in fat, high in fiber, and unbelievably food budget friendly.
1. Spray one side of a corn tortilla with spray oil. Place the tortilla, oil side down, on a hot skillet (preferably cast iron.)
2. Spread 1/3 cup canned vegetarian refried beans on top of the tortilla.
3. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons reduced fat cheddar or monterey jack cheese on top of the beans.
4. Place a second corn tortilla on top of the cheese, and lightly spray with the oil.
5. Heat for 5 minutes, then expertly flip the entire thing over (like a pancake.) Heat for another 3-5 minutes, or until the filling is warm, the tortilla is crispy, and the cheese is melty.
6. Top with salsa and enjoy! |
On May 20th I was privileged to be the featured speaker at "The Bookstore", 475 N. Main Street, Glen Ellyn.
We had a great turnout and everyone enjoyed sampling the smoothies and
homemade power bars.
If you were unable to join us, but are dying to taste the power bars, go to my blog NutriFit Blog where you'll find the recipe. |

| Website Updates |
 I've decided to go with my original thought for the name of my nutrition blog. Drum roll, please!
"Queen of Arugula" An on-going conversation about nutrition, food, fitness, and health.
I happen to love arugula, but I also love the way the title sounds, sort of like a country, only it isn't. Anyway, please check the blog often, I'm adding recipes and other useful information on a regular basis.
This week I've blogged about one of the most sensational salmon recipes that I've ever prepared. Check it out; NutriFit Blog
Thanks so much to those of you who contributed ideas for names - I appreciate your creativity, but I just couldn't get "the queen" out of my head! NutriFit Website |
