So to go along with my yummy taquitos, I decided to use my amazing quesadilla maker (thank you Chris!) and serve some cheesy quesadillas along side of them. Usually this would be SUPER fattening, however the simplicity of these little wedges are surprisingly low-fat. I used low-fat, low-carb 10 inch flour tortillas, fat-free mexican cheese (Weight Watchers carries a delicious brand that you can find in any grocery store!) and I chopped up half of a crisp green bell pepper to sprinkle over the cheese inside. Since I have an actual quesadilla maker, it makes this dish much easier, but an oven will work just as well. Feel free to add pieces of chicken, red bell pepper or salsa inside as well. You can't mess these up if you tried!
Have fun and bon appetit!

mmmm we need to get a quesadilla maker! yum!
Hi Kelly!
Love your recipes and have been wanting to try this one. Can you tell me what kind of tortillas you use? We eat Mexican food quite a bit, and I'd love to find some that still taste okay (unlike the wheat ones I've been using), but aren't too high in fat or carbs.
Thank you!
These recipes are great! Can you tell me how many calories in these quesadillas? :)
I use La Bandarita whole wheat tortillas. I live in Houston TX and these are readily available...I am not sure if these are available everywhere. But, it is only 40 calories per tortilla. They are very yummy. I will never go back...except when I make my own sometimes :)
@ Kelly, I have been buying La Bandarita whole wheat fajita size tortillas. They are only 40 calories per tortilla and they taste delicious. I will never go back.
