How to Make Delicious Quesadillas

cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Nutritional yeast is lower in calories and adds a cheesy flavor.

sour cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: plain yogurt

Greek yogurt provides creaminess with fewer calories.

jalapeños

🥗Healthier: banana peppers

💰Cheaper: green bell pepper

Both alternatives provide flavor with less heat.

cooked chicken

🥗Healthier: tofu

💰Cheaper: canned beans

Tofu offers a plant-based option, while beans are budget-friendly.

Heat a skillet over medium heat.

Place a tortilla in the skillet and sprinkle cheese evenly over half of it.

Add sliced onion, bell pepper, mushrooms, and jalapeños on top of the cheese.

If using, add cooked chicken or beans over the vegetables.

Fold the tortilla in half to cover the filling.

Cook until the bottom is golden and the cheese begins to melt, about 3-4 minutes.

Flip the quesadilla carefully and cook the other side until golden, about 2-3 minutes.

Remove from the skillet and let it cool slightly before slicing.

Serve with sour cream, guacamole, and salsa on the side.
