So, I have promised to show you the veggie quesadilla that I made over the weekend after spending an hour mowing my lawn. Here are the ingredients:

• 1 La Tortilla Factory tortilla (I used rosemary flavor.)
• 1 broiled zucchini, sliced
• 1 broiled eggplant, sliced
• 1 broiled long chili pepper, skin peeled and seeded
• 1 broiled jalapeño, skin peeled and seeded
• 2 tablespoons of fat-free or low-fat cottage cheese
• 2 tablespoons of fat-free or low-fat yogurt

I highly recommend buying La Tortilla Factory’s tortillas if you can find them in the store. La Tortilla Factory makes its tortillas flavorful while providing good balance of carbohydrates (plenty of fiber), fats(contains omega-3), and protein. But you can always substitute with other brands as long as you are buying whole wheat or whole grain tortillas that have at least 8 grams of fiber per serving. For vegetables, you may also grill them if you have one of those fancy outdoor grill or stove grill pan. After you char your long chili pepper and jalapeño on the grill, cover them up in a bowl with plastic wrap or aluminum foil for 10 minutes for easy peeling. After you prepare your vegetables, just simply lay them out on one half of the tortilla and spread cottage cheese over them (or you can use other cheese such as pepperjack, cheddar, or American yellow or white. Just don’t over do it! Everything in moderation). Now, fold your tortilla over and grill it on a frying pan or skillet for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until the tortilla gets warm and crispy. La Tortilla Factory’s tortillas are made with extra virgin olive oil; therefore, you don’t really need to grease the pan to get the tortilla crispy. Otherwise, drizzle a bit of olive oil or use PAM. Finally, the last touch of this fabulous dish…just scoop some yogurt (low-fat or fat-free sour cream if you wish) and lay it on the quesadilla.

Enjoy! And invent your own version of quesadilla!
