Gourmet Turkey and Cheese Quesadilla
Indulge in the flavors of a delicious blend of cheeses, smoked turkey, and fresh vegetables inside a crispy whole wheat tortilla.
Ingredients
| 1 | whole wheat flour tortilla (soft taco size) |
|---|---|
| 1/4 | cup shredded cheddar cheese |
| 1/4 | cup shredded monterey jack cheese |
| 2 | slices deli turkey (I used oscar mayer smoked turkey breast) |
| 2 | tablespoons Miracle Whip |
| 1/3 | cup finely shredded iceberg lettuce |
| thinly sliced tomatoes |
Instructions
| 1. | Begin by heating a skillet. Place a whole wheat flour tortilla in the warm skillet and sprinkle shredded cheddar and monterey jack cheeses over the entire tortilla, leaving a 1/2" border. Allow the cheeses to melt over medium heat. |
|---|---|
| 2. | Arrange slices of deli turkey in the center of the tortilla, layering them on top of each other. |
| 3. | Let it cook for a couple more minutes until the turkey is heated through, being cautious not to burn the bottom of the tortilla. The tortilla should become stiff and crispy. Turn off the heat. |
| 4. | Gently spread Miracle Whip on one side of the tortilla. Place finely shredded iceberg lettuce and thinly sliced tomatoes on top of the Miracle Whip. |
| 5. | Fold the tortilla in half and press down lightly with a spatula. Transfer the quesadilla from the skillet to a plate, and savor it while it's hot, accompanied by soup or chips. |
