Healthy Chicken & Shrimp Quesadillas

It has been a while since I had Mexican food. Also, I have not use my Quesadilla maker for a long time. A few days ago, I asked my hubby to buy all the ingredients so when I have the time I can make it.
Check it out. It's so good. This dish is easy to make and it's quite healthy if you ask me. It has green pepper, onion, garlic, red pepper, shrimp and chicken. Of course you will also need cheese, totillas, fat free sour cream and salsa. I am done with the fillings. See below.

Step 1 : Put the totilla in the quesadillas maker. Then add the cheese.
Step 2: Put the fillings in , and spread them evenly.

Step 3: Add another layer of cheese.

Step4: Put another totilla on top.
Step 5: close the quesadilla maker, and wait for a few minutes.

And voila`, it's done. I made my own salsa, and bought fat free sour cream. Look good huh? :-)


It's a quick, and healthy meal. My hubby had two yesterday.
