A quesadilla stuffed with cheese and pepperoni. Don’t like pepperoni pizza? Make a pineapple and ham pizza, veggie pizza, or meat lovers quesadilla. Dip them in your favorite marinara sauce.
Ever since starting Weight Watchers again, I've been making a lot of different types of quesadillas. Last week was buffalo chicken quesadillas and this week is pepperoni pizza quesadillas. They can be very filling if you're smart and use the right ingredients.
If I make chicken-style quesadillas I’ll add some black bean and corn salsa and put some of that in the middle. I also like adding pico de gallo inside of them too. Pico is zero points if there's no type of oil in it.
