A Simple Meal Idea: Grilled Quesadillas

Over the past couple of weeks, I have discovered the joy of quick and healthy meals. As I begin to think about ways that I can prepare for keeping my home after the birth of our child, I have started to make a list of those things that I might begin to do in order to make this coming stage easier on us. One of the biggest areas of planning is of course, meal planning. I recently started trying some QUICK and EASY recipes, as well as some recipes that I will be able to freeze prior to giving birth. Last week, I re-discovered a super quick meal that we really enjoy and I thought some of you might appreciate to be introduced or reminded of this simple meal. It requires very few ingredients and only takes about 15 minutes to prepare from start to finish!

George Foreman Grill Quesadillas:

Ingredients

Tortillas

Shredded Cheese

Cubed Chicken or Beef

Fajita Seasoning

Optional Ingredients (For simplicity, feel free to use the bare minimum ingredients, meat and cheese.)

Cooked Peppers and Onions

Light Sour Cream

Shredded Lettuce

Salsa

Cook meat in skillet. Once meat is fully cooked, add fajita seasoning and let simmer for 3 minutes. Heat grill (or a large skillet). Spray tortillas with non-fat cooking spray (butter or olive oil). Place tortilla on grill. Add cheese, cooked meat, peppers, and onions. Top with another tortilla. Close grill and heat until cheese is melted. Cut into slices and serve with lettuce, sour cream, and salsa.

Enjoy cooking for your loved ones this week :)!
