“FIT” RECIPE: Quesadilla

A bigger, simpler, cheesier and higher protein version of my taco recipe.

If It Fits Your Macros…

Very satiating but relatively low carbs and high on fat and protein, it can ironically be a perfect food for cutting season or low-carb diets.

Ingredients (per quesadilla)

• 150g of chicken 🍗
• 100gr of grated cheese (for this I used cheddar) 🧀
• 1 big tortilla wrap 🌮
• 1/2 an onion 🧅
• 1/2 green pepper 🫑
• 1 garlic clove 🧄
• (Optional) Salt 🧂
• (Optional) Tabasco 🌶

You can play around with the amount of cheese, just keep in mind that it’s the most caloric ingredient.

⚠️ NOTE: Not every type of cheese has the same macro distribution. Double check when counting.

Preparation

Dice the pepper, onion and garlic, and stir-fry them on a pan for about 5–7 min.

ℹ️ Tip: Pepper usually takes a bit longer to cook than onion and garlic so you can add it first and wait a couple of minutes before adding the onion and garlic.

Cut the chicken into little cubes and add it to the pan. Cook everything together for another 3–5 min. If you are adding salt and/or tabasco, do it now.

Pour everything into a bowl, add the cheese and mix it.

Before the cheese melts and gets all sticky, cover one half of the tortilla with the mix, and fold it.

Put it back on the pan, and let it toast for a couple of minutes per side.

¡Listo!
