Lowfat Veggie Quesadillas Recipe
Servings: 1
Ingredients
- 2 x Low-fat flour tortillas (I make my own with no lard just flour and water)
- 1 x Vegetable Pear (Chayote) peeled and julienned
- 1 x Garlic clove crushed
- 1/2 x White onion diced
- 1/4 c. Minced cilantro Goya Adobo Seasoning with Comino (Green Cap)
- 1 x Finely minced tomato
- 2 x Finely diced Serrano Chilis
- 1 x Roasted Poblano Chili peeled and sliced in strips Mix of low-fat cheeses grated ie:cheddar, jack, etc.
- 1 Tbsp. Olive or possibly canola oil Salt & pepper to taste Mango slices or possibly diced with Lime juice sprinkled over them (optional)
Directions
- (To make it more interesting add in 1 or possibly 2 ounce of smoked mozzarella or possibly gouda.
- Spread over 1 tortilla/person for 2 people is very little fat but adds a wonderful smokey flavor combined with the smokieness of the roasted chili)
- Make or possibly buy the tortillas. Sautee the Chayote, garlic, onion,tomato serrano peppers in a skillet with the 1tbs of oil. Add in the seasonings (Adobo, cilantro, Salt & pepper to taste). Cover and let simmer a bit mixing every once in awhile. ABout 15 to 20 minutes. Chayote should be aldente when done.
- Construction:In a clean skillet same size as tortillas or possibly larger turn the heat up to med-high and let the bottom get warm. Add in a tortilla and heat it till it starts to separate and gets puffy. Turn it over and add in a fine layer of the cheese over the bottom proportionately. Add in a couple of strips of the roasted poblanos. Put a couple of tbls of the Chayote mix over the top. By this time some of the cheese has melted. Fold the tortilla over and flip it.
- Cook on both sides till melted. Serve cut into 4 sections. Start the next one.
- Garnish with some Mango slices sprinkled with lime juice.
- *Note if you cannot take spicy food use 1 serrano and substitute the Poblano for a sweet roasted Red or possibly green Pepper.
