Hungry Girl Today: 04.14.09



CHEW THE RIGHT THING





BITE IT!

HG's Cheesy Beefy Quesadilla



Open Up and Say CHEESE!

Calling all Mexican-food fanatics! We've got a gooey, crispy, two-cheese

beefy quesadilla for you. And it's UNDER 200 CALORIES!!! Not coincidentally,

our new book, Hungry Girl 200 Under 200: 200 Recipes Under 200 Calories,

is in stores TODAY! Consider this recipe (straight from its pages!) a

sneak "chew" of what's inside...



Ingredients:

1 large La Tortilla Factory Smart & Delicious Low Carb/High Fiber tortilla

1/3 cup frozen ground-beef-style soy crumbles (like the ones by Boca and

MorningStar Farms)

1/4 cup shredded fat-free cheddar cheese

One-half wedge The Laughing Cow Light Original Swiss cheese

1 tbsp. fat-free sour cream

1/2 tbsp. chopped scallions

1/4 tsp. dry taco seasoning mix

Optional: additional fat-free sour cream, for dipping



Directions:

In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine soy crumbles, cheddar cheese,

scallions, sour cream, and seasoning mix, stirring thoroughly. Microwave for

30 seconds, stir again, and set aside.



Lay tortilla flat and spread cheese wedge evenly over one half.



Bring a medium-large pan sprayed with nonstick spray to medium heat, and

lay tortilla in it with the cheesy side up. Cook for about 30 seconds. Top the

cheesy tortilla half with soy crumble mixture.



Using a spatula, carefully fold the plain tortilla half over the other half,

pressing down with the spatula to seal. Cook for about 1 minute, until slightly

toasted on the bottom.



Flip and continue to cook for about 1 minute, until both sides are toasted.

Remove from heat and cut into four triangles. Serve with sour cream for

dipping, if you like. Enjoy!

FIGHT IT!

Quesadilla, Average



Mamma Mia, Quesadilla!

Quesadilla is such a cute word. It means "cheesy little thing." Awwwwww! So

how bad could an adorable li'l cheesy item possibly be? Well, let's see... an

average, reasonably sized beef quesadilla contains 600+ calories and more

than 30g of fat. Yikes! Oh, but it gets worse. MUCH worse. Order ANY

quesadilla at On the Border or Baja Fresh (kid's menu excluded), and

prepare to be faced with 1,200 - 1,900 calories and 78g - 127g fat (POINTS®

value 30 - 48*). AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!! It may be flatter than a burrito and

lighter than an enchilada platter, but the quesadilla is one deceptive Mexican

meal! Whether it's ground beef, chicken chunks, or nothin' but cheese

squished inside, it's TROUBLE. We may never know exactly how so many

calories and fat grams get sandwiched into those quesadillas, but we DO

know how to make our own ridiculously good version for under 200 calories.

So please, do yourself a favor -- skip all the oily monstrosities out there and

make our delicious swap instead. And remember to check out Hungry Girl

200 Under 200 for bazillions (okay, 199) more delicious low-calorie recipes.
