Quesadilla Yee-Haa! Salad (Hungry Girl) 6 Ww Points image

This is a great salad! It is suppose to be like the explosion salad from chili's. I am sure that it is close to the delicious fattening one, but it is really good and filling. UPDATE! 3-02-09:sometimes instead of making this dressing i take 2 tablespoons of light sour cream and 3 tablespoons salsa and mix it together for my dressing! it is delicious and lowers the point by one or two.

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 small low-carb whole wheat tortilla
1/4 cup shredded fat-free cheddar cheese
3 cups chopped romaine lettuce
3 ounces lean cooked boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
1/4 cup diced tomato
2 tablespoons canned sweet corn, drained
1 tablespoon canned black beans, rinsed
1 teaspoon fajita seasoning mix, dry
3 tablespoons fat free balsamic vinaigrette
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon lime juice
1/2 a packet if artificial sweetener (like Splenda)

Steps:

  • Begin by mixing together the fajita seasoning mix and 2 teaspoons of water. Toss the chicken in this mixture and set aside.

THE CHEESIEST QUESADILLAS



The Cheesiest Quesadillas image

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 3 quesadillas

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 green poblano chiles
Butter, for greasing the skillet
3 extra-large flour tortillas
1 1/2 cups finely grated Monterey Jack cheese
1 1/2 cups finely grated pepper jack cheese

Steps:

  • Roast the chiles by using metal tongs to hold them one-by-one over the flame of your stovetop until the skin is totally charred. (If you don't have a gas stove, you can use an outdoor grill OR place them on a baking sheet directly under your oven's broiler.) When totally blackened, place the chiles in a large resealable plastic bag and seal the bag to allow them to sweat for a good 20 minutes. Then use a knife to scrape off most of the blackened skin. Stem, seed and finely mince the chiles.
  • Butter a large cast-iron skillet generously and set over medium heat. Put 1 tortilla in the skillet and sprinkle on a third of the Monterey Jack and pepper jack cheese, evenly spreading it all the way to the edges so that the surface will be totally covered. Sprinkle on a third of the roasted chiles. Wait for the cheese to mostly melt, then fold half of the tortilla over itself. Cook for 20 more seconds, then flip the half-moon over and cook until the tortilla is buttery and golden, for 30 more seconds. Keep warm and repeat with the remaining tortillas, cheese and chiles. Cut into 4 or 5 wedges each and serve with bowls of chili.

But when you're home, well, steaming your Asian chicken is for the birds (not literally). Why? Because it's TOO easy to create a saucy, spicy, wonderful dish that has a tiny fraction of the calories and fat of restaurant versions. See below for proof -- and feel free to experiment using all sorts of other veggies (green beans, carrots, bean sprouts, broccoli) and lean protein (shrimp, lean steak, tofu, and even lean pork tenderloin ROCK Kung Pao style!)Serving Size: 1 heaping portion (half of recipe) Calories: 230 Fat: 4g Sodium: 720mg Carbs: 17g Fiber: 3g Sugars: 7g Protein: 30g

Categories     Vegetable

Time 5m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

15 ounces peas, drained
1/2 mashed avocado (about 1 medium-small avocado's worth)
1/3 cup chopped cherry tomatoes or 1/3 cup grape tomatoes
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1/4 cup fat free Greek yogurt (like Fage Total 0%)
4 teaspoons lime juice
1/2 teaspoon chopped garlic
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon cumin
1/8 teaspoon chili powder
chopped jarred jalapenos (optional) or additional salt and pepper (optional)

Steps:

  • Place drained peas in a medium bowl and mash thoroughly with a potato masher or fork.
  • Add all other ingredients except for the tomatoes, onions and optional items.
  • Continue to mash until blended.
  • Stir in the tomatoes, onions and, if you like, some chopped cilantro and/or jalapenos.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper, if needed.

Tips:

  • Use whole-wheat tortillas. They are a good source of fiber and nutrients, and they will help to keep you feeling full longer.
  • Go easy on the cheese. Cheese is a high-calorie food, so it is important to use it sparingly. Try using a low-fat or reduced-fat cheese, or use a combination of cheese and vegetables.
  • Load up on vegetables. Vegetables are low in calories and high in nutrients, so they are a great way to bulk up your quesadilla without adding a lot of calories. Use a variety of vegetables, such as bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, and spinach.
  • Add lean protein. Lean protein, such as grilled chicken or tofu, can help to keep you feeling full and satisfied. It can also help to boost your metabolism.
  • Use a light dressing. If you are using a dressing, choose a light or low-fat dressing. You can also make your own dressing using olive oil, vinegar, and herbs.

Conclusion:

Quesadillas are a delicious and versatile dish that can be made with a variety of ingredients. By following these tips, you can make quesadillas that are healthy and satisfying. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, reach for a quesadilla!
