Cheeseburger Quesadillas

Ingredients:

  • 1 large Low cab/High Fiber tortilla
  • 1 meatless burger, thawed (I actually used ground turkey)
  • 1 slice fat-free American cheese
  • 1 tablespoon chopped onion
  • 1 table spoon chopped pickles
  • Optional ingredients: salt, black pepper, garlic powder
  • Optional toppings: ketchup, mustard

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  2. Cut burger into small bite-size pieces. Bring a pan sprayed with nonstick spray to medium heat on the stove. Add onion and burger pieces. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until onion is soft. Season mixture to taste with optional ingredients, if you like. (I was making more than one serving, so here I just brown my turkey and then added the onion)
  3. Spray a medium-large baking sheet lightly with non-stick spray. Lay tortilla flat on the sheet and evenly top with cheese pieces. Bake in the oven for about 2 minutes, until cheese has melted slightly. Leave on oven.
  4. Spread burger mixture over 1/2 of the tortilla. Top with pickles and fold tortilla in half, pressing down lightly with a spatula to seal.
  5. Bake in the oven for another 3-5 minutes, until tortilla edges are slightly brown.
  6. Remove from the oven and cut into triangles. Top or serve with ketchup or mustard, if you like.

The original came from Hungry Girl 200 under 200. I LOVED these. T ate his with salsa ranch and I just had plan yellow mustard. I actually made enough for us to carry one for lunch the next day, and after he said it neede more seasoning, I LOADED his with red pepper, balck pepper, onion powder, garlic salt, and some italian seasonings and he said it was MUCH better.
