Are quesadillas healthy?

Chicken quesadillas can be a good option for weight watchers, as long as they are prepared with healthy ingredients and in moderation. To make a healthy chicken quesadilla, use a whole-grain tortilla, grilled chicken breast, low-fat cheese, and plenty of vegetables like bell peppers, onions, and tomatoes. You can also use non-fat Greek yogurt instead of sour cream and serve with a side of salsa or guacamole for added flavor.
