Chef's Note

For extra flavor, you can add a sprinkle of dried oregano or chili powder to the vegetables while cooking. If you're in a hurry, you can prepare the vegetables the night before and store them in the refrigerator.

Ingredients
  • 1 large (8-inch) whole wheat tortilla

  • 3/4 cup egg whites

  • 1/4 cup reduced-fat cheddar cheese

  • 1/4 cup bell pepper

  • 1/2 cup baby spinach

  • 2 tablespoons red onion

  • 1 spray olive oil cooking spray

  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
  • 1

    Dice 1/4 cup bell pepper and 2 tablespoons red onion into small pieces.

  • 2

    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and spray with olive oil cooking spray.

  • 3

    Add the diced bell pepper and red onion to the skillet and sauté for 2 minutes until slightly softened.

  • 4

    Add 1/2 cup baby spinach and cook for another 30 seconds until wilted. Transfer vegetables to a plate.

  • 5

    Wipe the skillet clean and return to medium heat. Spray again with cooking spray.

  • 6

    Pour 3/4 cup egg whites into the skillet, season with 1/8 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper, and cook for 2 minutes, stirring gently until just set but still slightly moist. Remove from heat.

  • 7

    Place the whole wheat tortilla on a clean work surface and sprinkle half of the 1/4 cup reduced-fat cheddar cheese on one half of the tortilla.

  • 8

    Spoon the cooked egg whites over the cheese, then add the sautéed vegetables.

  • 9

    Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the vegetables and fold the empty half of the tortilla over to form a half-moon shape.

  • 10

    Wipe the skillet clean again and return to medium heat. Spray with cooking spray.

  • 11

    Carefully transfer the quesadilla to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted.

  • 12

    Remove from heat, let cool for 1 minute, then cut into triangles and serve.
