Ingredients:
150g chicken breast
1 whole wheat tortilla
30g reduced-fat cheddar cheese, shredded
1/4 red bell pepper, diced
1/4 small onion, diced
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
Low-calorie cooking spray
Salt and pepper to taste
Method:
• Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
• Season chicken breast with ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
• Grill or pan-sear until cooked through, then shred into small pieces.
• Place the whole wheat tortilla on a flat surface. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese evenly over one half of the tortilla. Top with cooked shredded chicken, diced bell pepper, and onion.
• Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese over the top.
• Fold the other half of the tortilla over to cover the filling, creating a half-moon shape.
• Lightly grease the preheated skillet with cooking spray. Carefully transfer the assembled quesadilla to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
• Remove the cooked quesadilla from the skillet and let it cool for a minute. Slice the quesadilla into wedges and tuck in.
Customisation Ideas:
If you like your spice, try throwing in some jalapeños.
If you’re on a bulk, double up and make a couple of these for lunch (or three if you’re feeling extra hungry)
These can be made vegan by using plant-based chicken and vegan cheese!
