Deliciously Healthy Qusadillas

Mmm! This quick and delicious quesadilla is so filling! One is plenty! It really hits the spot when you are craving some Mexican food. 

INGREDIENTS:

*6 whole wheat tortillas-I used 2 whole wheat and 4 whole wheat Aladdin's pita pockets for me(less ingredients :)

* 1 Tbsp of olive oil

*1 red pepper 

*1/2 tsp of onion powder

1/2 tsp of chili powder

* 1 1/2 cups of frozen corn (I take it out about 20 minutes before I start making it.)

*1 can of pinto beans, drained

* 1/2 cup of salsa-I used Giant Eagle organic (extra if using to dip quesadilla)

*1 1/2 cups of shredded cheese (I combined cheddar and mozzarella.)

INSTRUCTIONS:

1.  Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

2. Coat a cookie sheet with cooking spray.

3. Heat the olive oil in the pan on medium heat and add red pepper, onion power, and chili powder.  Stir occasionally for about 5 minutes until pepper is tender.

4.   Add the corn, beans, and 1 cup of the cheese.  Stir until mixture is cooked through and cheese is melted.

5.  Scoop the mixture into the tortillas, fold in half and place them on the cookie sheet. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top. 

6.  Cook for about 10 minutes.

You can pair this with salsa or guacamole for a filling, classic Mexican meal.  They heat up quite well, so don't worry about leftovers! I broil it on low for a few minutes so that the shell isn't soggy. The mixture is delicious and would go well with some homemade pita chips as well! Yum!

Happy Eating!!
