2 SERVINGS

INGREDIENTS

4 corn tortillas (with whole grain and no added fat listed in ingredients)

1/2 cup fat-free refried beans

1/8 cup fat-free shredded cheddar cheese

1/4 cup fresh tomato, chopped

1/2 cup green cabbage, shredded (optional)

3 tbsp salsa (using our recipe)

2 tbsp nonfat plain Greek yogurt

1 tbsp fresh cilantro leaves, chopped

1 tsp lime juice

Quesadilla

DIRECTIONS

Preheat: Preheat large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.

Warm tortillas: Place tortillas in skillet in batches. Heat 2–3 min per side, watching closely to prevent burning. Wrap in foil to keep warm while finishing all tortillas.

Meanwhile, microwave beans: In a microwave-safe bowl, thoroughly heat beans, about 2-3 min. Stir halfway through time.

Assemble base: Place 2 warmed tortillas on work surface. Spread 1/4 cup warm beans evenly on each tortilla. Sprinkle 1 tbsp fat-free cheddar over beans. Spoon 1 1/2 tbsp salsa on top of each.

Add vegetables: Evenly top with tomato and cabbage (optional).

Layer top tortillas: Cover filled tortillas with remaining tortillas. Press gently to hold layers together.

Finish heating: Return quesadillas to skillet. Heat 1–2 min per side until cheese melts slightly and tortillas are warm.

Garnish and serve: Top each quesadilla with nonfat Greek yogurt, cilantro, and lime juice. Cut in half and serve immediately.

TIPS

To prevent soggy quesadillas, remove excess moisture from tomatoes and cabbage using paper towel before layering. This  keeps tortillas crisp.

For a quicker recipe, buy a premade, low-sodium salsa.

You can substitute no-salt-added black beans for the refried  beans if you prefer.
