Breakfast Quesadilla
Ingredients
- 1 cup diced assorted vegetables the more colors the better!
- ½ cup egg whites
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 whole-wheat low-sodium lavash thin bread
- 3 Tablespoons shredded fat-free mozzarella cheese
- 1 Tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro leaves optional
- 2 Tablespoons fat-free sour cream
- ¼ cup pico de gallo no salt added or no-salt-added salsa (such as Enrico’s brand)
Instructions
- In a medium nonstick skillet, sauté vegetables until beginning to brown. Add egg whites and scramble. Season with black pepper.
- On a warm griddle or flat-top grill, place lavash thin bread and let the side facing the heat get hot.
- Turn the bread over on the griddle or grill, and sprinkle the cheese on top side.
- On half of the top side, spread the vegetable scramble and cilantro.
- When the cheese begins to melt, fold the thin bread in half to cover the vegetables. Press firmly, using a tool like a large firm spatula or bottom of a pan. Flip on the other side, grill for about 2 minutes, and press.
- Remove from heat. Cut quesadilla into four pieces. Serve two pieces per person with fat-free sour cream and salsa on the side.
