This is a super quick, kid friendly, high protein, low carb, low calorie snack for peanut butter & jelly lovers like me. There are only four easy to find ingredients & it takes about 5 minutes or so to make.
Ingredients:
1 low carb tortilla (La Tortilla Factory brand)
1-2 tablespoons natural peanut butter (no sugar added on label)
1/2 container nonfat, plain Greek yogurt
1-2 tablespoons sugar free jelly in whatever flavor you prefer (or 1/4 cup of mashed raspberries, strawberries, or blueberries with your choice of calorie free sweetener added to taste)
Spread peanut butter on tortilla being careful not to get too close to edge or it will ooze out. (If you want to sweeten the peanut butter then mix in whatever zero calorie sweetener you want before you spread on tortilla). Press tortilla into a half circle. Spray a nonstick pan very lightly with cooking spray. Heat quesadilla over medium heat until nice & warm. Slice into wedges. In separate dish mix yogurt & jelly (or mashed berries). Serve the jelly dip alongside or on top of your quesadilla. You will have extra but it tastes delicious so just eat it plain with a spoon after your quesadilla is done like I do 🙂
One serving made with 1 tablespoon of peanut butter is 200 calories and 16 grams protein (depending on your exact ingredients it may be slightly more or less). I suggest making it with 2 tablespoons of peanut butter if you want it really peanut buttery. This will total 300 calories & 19.5 grams of protein.
