Quesadilla

Ingredients:  Whole wheat tortilla, Cheddar cheese, Vegetables of your choice (the more you eat, the more fiber and nutrients you get!), Chicken (optional)

Nutrition Tips:

Use less cheese if you want less fat.  Or mix only a little cheese with fat free sour cream.  Pile on the vegetables and you won't be adding many calories.  At the same time you're packing on fiber and nutrients!
