Skinny Bean & Cheese Quesadillas are low in fat and make a great meal or snack!

Skinny Bean & Cheese Quesadillas take literally minutes to whip up. They are perfect for lunch, a snack, or a light dinner.

I have found a new brand of foods at my local grocery store; CAULIPOWER! I shared their Baked Chicken Tenders last month and today I am sharing their cauliflower tortillas.

We are still making an effort to eat better, especially since there seems to be poor choices available every time we turn around.

For me, that is the hardest thing about the holidays. I have been cooking, and taking foods that are healthier.

One of the biggest ways we change how we eat is to swap foods out for foods that are better for us. We look for alternatives that are lower in calories, carbs and especially fat.

Take these CAULIPOWER Cauliflower Tortillas, for example. Cauliflower is the first ingredient and two tortillas only have 1 gram of fat and 120 calories!

I have been wanting Mexican food lately but didn’t want to go off the rails with high fat and calorie flour toritllas.

We just love how quick and easy a lot of Mexican dishes are. I am super excited to be able to eat it more often!

CAULIPOWER Cauliflower Tortillas are available in Original and Grain Free. They are naturally gluten, wheat and preservative free.

How to make Skinny Bean & Cheese Quesadillas:

• Thaw one package of tortillas on the counter for about 5 minutes, or until they come apart easily.
• Lay four tortillas out.
• Warm one cup of refried beans in the microwave for about 30 – 60 seconds. Divide the beans between four tortillas, spreading in a thin layer. Top each of the four tortillas with one fourth cup of the cheese. Top each tortilla with another tortilla.
• Spray a non-stick skillet with cooking spray and cook each quesadilla over medium to medium-high heat until the cheese is melted and the tortilla begins to brown, about 3 – 4 minutes on each side.
• Serve with salsa, sour cream and guacamole.

Use CAULIPOWER tortillas in these Skinny Beef Enchiladas with Creamy Avocado Sauce or these Fish Tacos.
