CHEW THE RIGHT THING
BITE IT!
HG's Nice to See Ya! Quesadilla
The Ques of the Missing Calories
Weve taken a fiber-packed tortilla, loaded it with our favorite omelette
ingredients, and topped it with salsa and sour cream. Check out our latest
recipe and add some excitement to your mornings, people!
Ingredients:
1 La Tortilla Factory Smart & Delicious Low Carb High Fiber Large Tortilla
1/2 cup fat-free liquid egg substitute (like Egg Beaters Original)
1 slice center-cut bacon with about 20 calories per slice (like Oscar Mayer
Naturally Smoked 30% Lower Fat Center Cut Bacon)
1/2 cup thinly sliced red and green bell peppers
1/4 cup sliced onion
1/4 cup shredded fat-free cheddar cheese
2 tbsp. canned black beans, rinsed and drained
2 tbsp. fat-free sour cream, divided
2 tbsp. salsa
1 tbsp. salsa verde
Optional: 1 tbsp. chopped cilantro
Directions:
Cook bacon according to package directions, either in a pan with nonstick
spray or the microwave. Once cool enough to handle, roughly chop and set
aside.
Bring a medium-large pan (at least the size of the tortilla) sprayed with
nonstick spray to medium heat. Add peppers and onion and cook until
softened, about 3 minutes.
Add egg substitute and scramble until fully cooked. Transfer mixture to a
bowl and set pan aside to cool.
Add bacon, beans, 1 tbsp. sour cream, and salsa verde (not the regular
salsa) to the egg-scramble bowl. If you like, add cilantro as well. Lightly mix
and set aside.
Clean and dry the pan, spray with nonstick spray, and bring to medium-high
heat. Place tortilla flat in the pan and sprinkle evenly with cheese. Spoon egg
mixture over one half of the tortilla, fold the other half over the mixture to
form the quesadilla, and then press down with a spatula to seal. Cook until
both sides are crispy, about 2 minutes per side. (Flip very carefully.)
Plate your quesadilla and cut it into triangles. Top with salsa and 1 tbsp. sour
cream. Enjoy!

FIGHT IT!
The Cheesecake Factory Morning Quesadilla
Ques Closed
Call it "The Curious Case of the Morning Quesadilla." We can't figure out
why this CRAZY breakfast food has to be so high in calories... or so
freakishly large for that matter. HUMANS! Stop whatever multitasking you're
doing right now and give this info your full attention: This breakfast has over
2,000 calories! That's about the average recommended amount for an entire
day. WHY is this restaurant serving up an entire day's worth of food on one
plate and calling it breakfast? Oh yeah, and it's also got a ridiculous amount
of saturated fat! Blame it on two kinds of cheese, AND a creamy sauce, AND
guacamole, AND sour cream... that's too much "AND!" No, Cheesecake
Factory! Bad restaurant, BAD! Since breakfast swaps are totally up our alley
(being obsessed with Egg Beaters and all), we tackled this one and shaved
off a thousand calories! And then, we took off several hundred more. (You
know, just for kicks.) Feel free to chow down on our Nice to See Ya!
Breakfast Quesadilla without the fear of popping a button. You can even eat
it in your PJs. Take that, Cheesecake Factory!
