WW Buffalo Chicken Quesadilla

I joined Weight Watchers 8 weeks ago right before the holidays to keep myself from gorging and putting myself in a daily "I-just-had-a-baby-and-am-nursing-so-it's-still-OK-to-eat-whatever-I-want" food coma. Following the plan I've lost a little over 10 pounds and, as of today, have finally reached a weight that puts me back in my pre-med school and residency weight range! Here is one of the recipes I created during my journey so far...

Buffalo Chicken Quesadilla with Blue Cheese Broccoli Slaw (8pts+)
Follow Gina's recipes over at Skinnytaste to make a crockpot full of the spicy, tender, buffalo chicken-y goodness and homemade blue cheese dressing you need for this recipe. You'll have enough shredded buffalo chicken and dressing for this and a few other meals.


Ingredients
1/2 cup shredded buffalo chicken (3pts+)
2 Trader Joe's (or other) low-carb whole wheat tortilla shells (3pts+)
1 oz shredded 2% sharp cheddar (1pt+)
2 TBSP homemade blue cheese (1pt+)
1 cup broccoli slaw (0pt+)

Directions

  1. The Trader Joe's tortillas are a bit softer and more pliable than a regular flour tortilla, so I like to crisp them up a bit by just toasting each side on a hot pan or griddle for minute or so before proceeding.
  2. Place a pre-toasted tortilla in a hot pan, top with 1/2 the cheddar, all of the chicken, the other 1/2 of the cheddar, and the second tortilla shell.
  3. Cook each side for approximately 2 minutes or until cheese is melted
  4. Cool the quesadilla while you make the broccoli slaw by mixing the raw slaw mix with the blue cheese dressing
  5. Cut the quesadilla into 6 wedges
  6. Serve - I like to use the slaw like a salsa on top of the quesadilla wedges.
