Equipment
- indoor grill or panini press
- Cutting board
- Chef knife
- spatula
- three small bowls
- measuring spoons
Ingredients
- 2 Mission carb balance tortillas or your favorite brand
- 8 oz shredded chicken
- 4 tbsp G. Hughes no sugar added barbecue sauce or your favorite brand
- 1 tbsp French's classic yellow mustard
- 4 medium thick onion slices
- ½ medium bell pepper, orange
Instructions
- Preheat the indoor grill or panini grill to 400℉
- Cut the onion slices in half and then separate them. Grill them on the indoor grill or panini press until they are tender and starting to carmelize. When they are done transfer them from the grill to a small bowl and set aside.
- Cut the bell pepper in half and remove the core and seeds. Cut ½ of the pepper into strips. Grill them on the indoor grill or panini press until they are tender and starting to brown. When they are done, transfer them from the gill to a small bowl and set aside.
- Place 4 tbsp of no sugar added barbecue sauce into a small bowl along with 1 tbsp of French's classic yellow mustard. Stir until they are thoroughly mixed together. Set aside.
- Place the shredded chicken into a bowl and mix with the barbecue sauce mixture. Add enough barbecue sauce to get the level of sauciness you like. I used 4 tbsp of the barbecue/mustard combo.
- Spread one half of the shredded barbecue chicken on the bottom half of a tortilla. Spread one half of the grilled onions and the grilled bell pepper over the top of the shredded barbecue chicken.
- Finally spread 2 tbsp of the fat free shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the grilled onions and peppers. Fold the top half of the tortilla over the filled bottom half of the tortilla. Transfer it to the preheated grill and grill until the cheese is melted and the tortilla has grill marks and is crispy.
- Transfer the done quesadilla from the grill to a plate. You can garnish the quesadilla with some light sour cream or non fat yogurt if you wish. Serve and enjoy.
Notes
The sodium is high on these quesadillas due to the sodium content in the tortillas and the barbecue sauce. You can use Mrs. Taste Zero Barbecue sauce and lower the sodium content of each quesadilla from 827 mg to 627 mg. You can further lower the sodium content by another 120 mg by using a Flatout Multigrain with Flax Flatbread or by 235 mg by using a La Banderita Low Sodium Regular Size Flour Tortillas (not low carb). A list of no salt added or low salt products can be found in the top menu bar under 'Resources'.
