So…I\u2019ve told you before about my husband\u2019s new-found love for Tex-Mex foods. The other day he specifically asked me to make quesadillas. “Why, sure I will!” \u00a0\ud83d\ude09 But I was a bit stymied how to \u2018lighten them up\u2019 from being cheese bombs in our tummies…AND fit them here into our healthy but oh-so-yummy<\/em> POV. \u00a0But then I realized it was simple: ease up on the cheese, and add lots of veggies! \u00a0That was easy!<\/p>\n

Oh, there\u2019s just one not-so-easy step\u2014the flipping! \u00a0Here\u2019s what I did…but if you have a better method…bring it on! \u00a0(Please!) \u00a0When the bottom tortilla has browned off just a bit (3 minutes or so), slide it carefully out of the pan onto a dinner plate. Then, invert ANOTHER dinner plate on top, hold them together now, flip over, remove the top plate and slide the tortilla back into the pan with the browned side facing up now! \u00a0If I can do it, then I have no doubt that you, too, can do it! \u00a0Enjoy!<\/p>\n
