Hungry Girl's Hey Mambo! Veggie Italiano Quesadilla
Makes 1 serving
1/3 cup canned cannellini (white kidney) beans, drained and rinsed
1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 large low carb/high fiber tortilla with about 110 calories
1 wedge The Laughing Cow(®) Light Mozzarella, Sun-Dried Tomato & Basil cheese
1/4 cup sliced zucchini
1/4 cup sliced red bell pepper
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 piece Mini Babybel(®) Light cheese, chopped
Optional toppings: low-fat marinara sauce, fat-free sour cream
Place beans in blender or food processor with 1 tablespoon water; blend until mostly smooth. Add Italian seasoning and mix well.
Lay tortilla flat; spread half of the upward-facing side with bean mixture. Spread cheese wedge on other half; set aside.
Bring skillet sprayed with nonstick spray to medium-high heat on stove. Add veggies and, stirring occasionally, cook until softened, about 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer veggies to side of tortilla spread with cheese wedge.
Top veggies evenly with chopped cheese. Fold bean-covered side of tortilla over other side and press gently to seal, forming quesadilla.
Remove skillet from heat, re-spray with nonstick spray, and return to medium-high heat. Place quesadilla in skillet; cook for about 2 minutes per side, until outside is toasty and inside is hot.
Cut into triangles and, if you like, top or serve with marinara sauce or sour cream.
