Anyone else able to eat quesadillas several times a week? They’re so easy to change up that it feels like a new meal every time. This is my timeless classic quesadilla recipe, featuring a TikTok video of how to make them with little effort or mess.
My Quesadilla Recipe Ingredients
With only five ingredients, most of which you will already have home, you can hardly go wrong.
- Two flour tortillas (carb balance tortillas are my favorite)
- 1/2-3/4 cups shredded cheese, I personally love Mexican cheese blends
- Filling(s) of choice, boneless/skinless chicken breast for me
- Mrs. Dash’s Southwest Chipotle seasoning
- Light sour cream
Making a Simple Quesadilla
Spray a medium frying pan with non-stick cooking spray, set heat to medium and add one tortilla. Immediately afterwards, start adding the cheese so it can begin melting. When you eventually flip the quesadilla over the more melted the cheese is, the better.
Before adding the second tortilla to the top you need to add your fillings. I like to add diced boneless, skinless chicken breast into mine for a chicken quesadilla. Any meat should be cooked in a separate pan and usually ahead of time so it is ready to be added as the quesadilla is heating up.
Whether you’re a meat eater or not, my favorite part of the dish is the Mrs. Dash’s Southwest Chipotle seasoning. It’s a sodium-free, calorie-free, absolutely delicious way to add flavor to your quesadilla! Try sprinkling a little inside the quesadilla so it cooks into the cheese.
Once the cheese has been sufficiently melted, flip the quesadilla over to crisp the top tortilla. Remove from heat once desired crispness is achieved, and allow the quesadilla to cool for a minute before cutting. Top with light sour cream, a sprinkle of seasoning and enjoy a delicious homemade dish for under 500 calories!
Pro Tip: Have leftover takeout sauce packets? Dig for some Taco Bell sauces and dip your quesadilla in those for an even more flavorful dish. May even remind you of the delicious one on their menu, but likely with less calories.
