Low Carb Foldover Quesadilla
Other fillings or side elements:
beans (Pinto or black beans might be fun.)
guacamole
sour cream
salsa
pico de gallo
hot sauce
shredded lettuce is a tradition too.
Optional seasonings (You might set out a set of spices that people can dust on their filling):
cumin
smoked paprika
cayenne
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
Put your 10-inch tortilla on a plate. Place some shredded cheese on one half of the tortilla. A couple tablespoons will do it. Then top with whatever else you want in your quesadilla. Shoot for maybe a half cup at the most of protein and veggie mixture and/or beans, etc. Dust with your seasonings and add a couple more tablespoons of grated cheese (you can even do two different cheeses!) Fold over the other side of the tortilla to sort of seal it. Squish down with the palm of your hand or a spatula.
Spray the cookie sheet with olive oil. Lay on the folded over quesadillas. Remember whose is whose. Even make a note on a piece of paper if you need to.
Spray the tops of the quesadillas with more oil. Bake for 15 to 25 minutes or until they are as brown as you like them. I like mine almost a mahogany brown, so mine are definitely in the oven a long time. I like crispy. Remove the cookie sheet from the oven and remove the quesadillas with a spatula to the plate. Or cut them into wedges to serve.
Garnish as you desire with items from above.
Enjoy!
Cheers,
Zola
