Veggie Quesadilla and Kale Chips

This recipe makes two servings, so it's great for a date night, or can be broken up into two different meals for one healthy person on the go.
Kale chips recipe I used was found here: http://www.eat-yourself-skinny.com/2012/08/kale-chips.html  I've used other recipes and found that my chips burned, so I like that this one required a lower cooking temperature for a longer time.

2 whole wheat tortillas
2 cups shredded reduced-fat cheese
2 cups vegetables (sliced mushrooms, diced zucchini, diced bell peppers, etc.)
1 bunch kale (cut into 2-inch pieces)
2 Tablespoons olive oil
Seasoned salt

for kale chips:
Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Throw kale pieces in a bowl and toss with 1 Tablespoon olive oil.  Lay out on a baking sheet and sprinkle with seasoned salt.  Bake kale for about 20 minutes, or until crisp.
for quesadilla:
Heat 1 Tablespoon olive oil in saute pan, add vegetables and cook until soft. I used a quesadilla maker, but you could also cook your quesadilla using a frying pan or george forman grill. Place cooked vegetables and cheese in between tortillas and heat until the cheese is melted. Cut into wedges and enjoy.

Chicken Quesadillas and Side Salad

I like to give credit where credit is due and I first found the shredded taco chicken recipe on pinterest, the link to the blog is http://www.mychocolatetherapy.com/2012/01/crockpot-chicken-tacos.html

2 whole wheat soft taco shells
about 2 oz of shredded taco chicken
1/3 cup shredded reduced fat mexican cheese

4 kalamata olives, diced

I used a quesadilla maker, but you could also cook your quesadilla using a frying pan or george forman grill. Place chicken and cheese in between taco shells and heat until the cheese is melted. Cut into wedges and enjoy.  Combine lettuce and olives (and other vegetables if desired) to make side salad.
