Quesadilla - as an appetizer for dinner guests, or a quick lunch for you or your kids, give this recipe a try. It's high in protein, low in carbohydrates and maxxed out on taste! (and for all of you gluten free readers, its gluten free! - more on gluten intolerance in the days to come)
Turkey Quesadillas
Makes 1 serving (of 3 triangles)
Ingredients:
- 1/2 batch of oatmeal protein pancake batter
- 1/4 cup of cooked lean ground turkey
- 1/4 cup salsa
- 1/2 oz cheddar
- chili peppers (optional)
- optional: spoon of greek yogurt
1) Mix up 1/2 batch of oatmeal protein pancake batter (except leave out the cinnamon and splenda this time :). Add an additional couple of tbsp of water. It should be fairly runny. Pour batter into a pre-heated pan spritzed with oil. 'Swirl' the pan so the batter covers the bottom equally - it should be quite thin. Cook on med-high heat until top is firm. Flip and finish cooking on the other side. *if you make a bunch at once, you can store the extra tortillas in a ziploc bag in the fridge for a few days to use in future meals
2) On one side of the tortilla, put 1/4 cup cooked extra lean ground turkey, 1/2 oz of cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup of salsa (and chili peppers if desired)
3) Fold over the emptry half of the tortilla onto the side with the filling. Cook until cheese is melted and desired crispiness of tortilla is obtained (can be flipped so both sides can be equally cooked).
4) Once on a plate, cut into 3 pieces and serve with a spoon of plain fat free greek yogurt for dipping (it tastes remarkably like sour cream and is packed full of protein!)
