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
2 cups lettuce
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.

Veggified Breakfast Wrap

1 Flatout flatbread wrap
1 egg
1 slice of reduced fat cheese (I used provolone)
1 bell pepper diced (you could substitute or add other vegetables)
1 Tablespoon salsa
olive oil cooking spray
minced garlic
pepper

Coat frying pan with olive oil cooking spray and heat diced bell peppers until they begin to soften.  Add minced garlic if desired.  Move peppers to one side of the pan and add egg to the frying pan.  Shake a little bit of pepper on egg if desired.  Flip egg and place slice of cheese on top so that it melts while the egg finishes cooking.   Spread salsa on flatbread wrap, remove bell peppers from frying pan and spread on flatbread wrap.  Use the spatula to divide egg/cheese into 2 pieces and place both on flatbread wrap.  Roll-up carefully and enjoy.
