Crab quesadilla

Tortillas are very versatile. One day a burrito. Then next a quesadilla. I used canned crab in this one. Again, dinner in under 10! Heat the tortilla up in the skillet to make it soft. And use an olive oil spray in a non-stick pan to make clean-up a breeze.

Ingredients:
-Salsa
-Trader Joe's Whole Wheat Flax tortilla (great fiber source)
-Canned crab
-1 slice cheddar cheese
-Refried black beans

How many ways can you use a tortilla?


Healthy Mexican is super easy and fast to make. Steam the tortilla in the microwave for a few seconds to make it roll-up easily & stuff with chicken, beans, fish or some other lean meat. Try some sauteed onions & peppers for filling, just watch the cheese! You can kill a healthy meal in a sec by smothering with cheese. Dinner in under 10 minutes. Love it!

Ingredients:
-Trader Joe's Whole Wheat Flax tortilla
-Salsa verde
-Refried black beans
-Parmesan cheese
-Shredded chicken breast (made in crockpot)
-1 slice low-fat cheddar cheese

Bangkok House, part 3


Another dish my husband ordered at Bangkok House. Thai Poh Tak (Hot & sour seafood soup with mushrooms, tomato & lemon grass). Yummy (and healthy)!
