Low fat Chicken Quesadilla

Low fat Chicken Quesadilla

We love the Mexican spices. Tacos, burritos, quesadillas and the spicy tomato rice are all welcome here. Oh… and fajitas too! Sometimes we manage to put together a Mexican breakfast. Quesadillas are an all-time favourite. It is good as school lunch too. My base recipe is: “Taco bell chicken quesadilla”, you can find here:

I follow the sauce recipe exactly, but use low fat mayonnaise, scale down the cheeses a bit and add some veggies. The sauce can be made the night before and refrigerated. I use leftover grilled chicken or fried chicken.

Combine sauce ingredients and set aside. Heat the oil in a wok and stir-fry onion and capsicum over high heat just till the capsicum slices brighten. Remove.

Preheat skillet over medium heat. One at a time, lay tortilla (I used chapathi this time) into hot skillet and spread about one tablespoon of sauce onto one half. Top the sauce with chicken, onion mix and then sprinkle 1 ½ table spoon grated cheese on the same side. Lay half a cheese slice on the other side of the tortilla. Fold over, and press gently with spatula. Cook until cheeses melt. Serve hot with fresh salsa.
