Cheeseless Quesadilla?

What do you call a cheeseless quesadilla?

Is it just a dilla?  What about a cheeseless quesadilla with beans?  A habadilla? 

Something to ponder…

Quesadillas are one of my favorite fast-fix dinners.  I put a lot of random things in my quesadillas, and I’m convinced that you can sandwich pretty much anything in between a tortilla, throw it on the george foreman grille, and have near instant glory in your mouth.

Take this dinner for example.  I started off with 1 Tumaro’s low carb tortilla topped, 1/4 cup fat-free refried beans and 2 ounces grilled chicken:

Plus 1/2 a cup of frozen calabacita mixed veggies that I defrosted in the microwave:

5 minutes of quality time with the george:

Veggies for toppin’

 

Add 2 tbsp of fat-free sour cream and you have yourself magnificence on a plate!

Stats on the habadilla:  264 calories, 38g carbs, 3g fat, 33g protein, 12g fiber

 

 Mmmmmm beans……  Love them.

Hello! I’m Mary, a self-proclaimed fervent foodie and carbohydrate connoisseur. This blog is about my life—my passions, adventures, and failures—through food. I’m a bean counting CPA by trade, but my true passion is food. It is the unabashed soul of my being. The history, the culture, the taste, the experience–I am fascinated and enchanted by it all. I devote my free time almost entirely to scouting out delicious restaurants and cooking up new recipes. It makes me especially happy when I can take a recipe and “healthify” it. By this I mean turn it into something healthy and nutritious that still tastes friggin’ delicious. I love to connect with readers, restaurants, and those in public relations, so email me and let’s talk food! Google

  • umm i love the sound of a naked quesadilla. haha. mmmm. sounds delish. you know what drives me crazy? when people call say 'cheese quesadilla." ummmm redundant?

  • Great ideas...I've renewed my love with the George since I started reading your blog. :)

  • Maybe you could call it the chickadilla and do W. C. Fields impersonation just before you take the first bite: "Ah yes, my little chickadilla. . . " Sushi was delish! I'll have to try making it at home again!
