Ingredients

1 La Banderita Carb Counter Tortilla
3 Tbsp reduced-fat Mexican shredded cheese (21g)
1/2 cup onion or onions and peppers (60g) diced
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/8 tsp pepper
1/8 tsp salt
1/8 tsp cumin
70 g LFF Basic Shredded Chicken or other shredded chicken - can pick another protein and log separately

Instructions

Spray a skillet with nonstick cooking spray and set to medium heat. Add onions, peppers, onion powder, cumin, salt and pepper. Cook until tender, about 5 minutes, then stir in shredded chicken and cook for another minute. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Spray the skillet with more cooking spray and add tortilla. Add cheese to one half of the tortilla and spread out evenly.
Place the chicken and vegetable mixture on top of the cheese side and fold the other half of the tortilla over top. Use a spatula to press down. Cook until the bottom is golden brown; carefully flip the tortilla to the other side and cook for another minute or until the other side is golden brown too.
Remove from the skillet, add toppings and enjoy!

Notes

Lauren's top picks to switch up the protein:

To switch up protein --

For the non-macro trackers:

Cook protein of choice first. Add same amount of cooked protein, gram for gram as called for in recipe.

For the macro-counters:

Make protein of choice and keep separate.
When ready to eat, log quesadilla as "LFF Easy Quesadilla no protein" and log protein of choice separate.
