5 Tasty Recipes for Weight Loss
1. Crispy Chicken Quesadillas
Ingredients: ½ Tbsp canola oil, 1 large skinless/boneless chicken breast, 1 red onion sliced, 4 oz mushrooms sliced, 1 poblana pepper seeded and sliced, 1 ½ cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese, 4 medium whole grain tortillas, guacamole.
Directions: Heat a large sauté pan to medium heat. Add the oil and chicken breast (diced into small pieces) and cook until just done. Add onion, pepper, and mushroom and sauté until vegetables brown (approx. 5 minutes). Top 2 tortillas with cheese and sautéed chicken/vegetables, and cover with remaining tortillas. For that extra crispy texture, cook each quesadilla in a clean frying pan with a bit of oil.
