- 1 to 2 Tbsp. Skinny Pesto (or store bought)
- 1 Ezekiel, brown-rice or whole-wheat tortilla

- 2 cups chopped fresh spinach
- 1 Tbsp. shredded low-fat mozzarella cheese
- 1 plum tomato, thinly sliced

- Spread the pesto evenly on the tortilla. Place the chicken (or beans, for a meatless option), spinach, mozzarella, and tomato on half of the tortilla. Fold the other half of the tortilla over the filling.
- Lightly coat a skillet with olive oil spray and set over medium-high heat.
- Place the quesadilla on the skillet and cook for 3 minutes on each side. Makes 1 serving.
