This is one of those ‘use what you’ve got on hand recipes that always scores big points with the hubbs. You can sub out the veggies for whatever you’ve got in the crisper. Peppers, leftover potatoes and/or meat would all be delicious.
Quesadillas
- 1/2 cup zuchinni, chopped
- 1/2 cup yellow squash, chopped
- 2 tbs red onion, chopped
- 1 wedge of The Laughing Cow Light Cheese
- 1/4 cup instant mashed potatoes
- 2 Whole Wheat Flour Tortillas (I like Tam-x-ico’s Low Carb version)
- 1/4 cup of reduced fat shredded cheddar cheese
Salsa
- 1 tbs red onion, chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes, chopped
- 1 jalapeno, minced
- juice of 1/2 lime
- salt and pepper
Spray skillet with non-stick spray over medium heat. Add zuchinni, squash and onions and season to taste with salt and pepper. Saute for about 8 – 10 minutes.
Remove veggies and set aside.
Prepare instant potatoes according to package instructions. (I microwave them. It’s the fastest, easist method for sure)
Spread one tortilla with your Laughing Cow wedge and the other with your mashed potatoes.
With your skillet over medium heat, place one ortilla in the pan and top with veggies, shredded cheese, and your second tortilla. Cook about 2 – 3 minutes per side, slice into wedges and serve with salsa.
