Yo Quiero MAS Quesadillas!

We all should know by now how much I love quesadillas. It's almost illegal and immoral how much I love them. So I got the strongest craving for some last week, and I mean really strong. My mind wouldn't let me rest, so I scoured the internet for a decent recipe.

I was NOT disappointed.

Thanks to Pinterest, I found a whole slew of recipes. However it was once again my girl Hungry Girl who saved the day. And the best part of all, it's BEEFY and CHEESY! You can't go wrong with that! This weekend, I plan on eating the delicious recipe I found :-)

HG's Beefy Cheesy Quesadillas

*drool*

Calling all Mexican-food fanatics! We've got a gooey, crispy, two-cheese beefy quesadilla for you. And it's UNDER 200 CALORIES!!! Not coincidentally, our new book, Hungry Girl 200 Under 200: 200 Recipes Under 200 Calories, is in stores TODAY! Consider this recipe (straight from its pages!) a sneak "chew" of what's inside...

Ingredients:
1 large La Tortilla Factory Smart & Delicious Low Carb/High Fiber tortilla
1/3 cup frozen ground-beef-style soy crumbles (like the ones by Boca andMorningstar Farms)
1/4 cup shredded fat-free cheddar cheese
One-half wedge The Laughing Cow Light Original Swiss cheese
1 tbsp. fat-free sour cream
1/2 tbsp. chopped scallions
1/4 tsp. dry taco seasoning mix
Optional: additional fat-free sour cream, for dipping

Directions:
In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine soy crumbles, cheddar cheese, scallions, sour cream, and seasoning mix, stirring thoroughly. Microwave for 30 seconds, stir again, and set aside.

Lay tortilla flat and spread cheese wedge evenly over one half.

Bring a medium-large pan sprayed with nonstick spray to medium heat, and lay tortilla in it with the cheesy side up. Cook for about 30 seconds. Top the cheesy tortilla half with soy crumble mixture.

Using a spatula, carefully fold the plain tortilla half over the other half, pressing down with the spatula to seal. Cook for about 1 minute, until slightly toasted on the bottom.

Flip and continue to cook for about 1 minute, until both sides are toasted. Remove from heat and cut into four triangles. Serve with sour cream for dipping, if you like. Enjoy!
