Ingredients

• 2 pieces Whole wheat tortillas
• 4 large Egg whites
• 0.5 cup Low-fat cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 cup Baby spinach leaves
• 0.5 cup Red bell pepper, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Green onions, sliced
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 second spray Olive oil spray

• 0.25 cup Fat-free Greek yogurt

Directions

Step 1

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat it with olive oil spray.

Step 2

Add the red bell pepper and green onions to the skillet and sauté for about 3 minutes until they begin to soften.

Step 3

Add the baby spinach to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes until it wilts.

Pour in the egg whites and season with salt and black pepper. Stir gently until the egg whites are fully cooked, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 5

Remove the egg mixture from the skillet and set aside.

Step 6

Wipe the skillet clean with a paper towel, re-coat with olive oil spray, and return to medium heat.

Step 7

Place one tortilla in the skillet. Sprinkle half the low-fat cheddar cheese evenly over the tortilla.

Step 8

Spread the egg and vegetable mixture over the cheese layer.

Step 9

Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top and cover with the second tortilla.

Step 10

Cook the quesadilla for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Step 11

Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and cut into wedges.

Step 12

Serve warm with salsa and a dollop of fat-free Greek yogurt on the side.
