Equipment

  • skillet
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • spatula

Ingredients

  • 2 lavash pita wraps
  • olive oil or any cooking spray
  • cup fat free mozzarella
  • cup fat free cheddar cheese
  • 1 tsp ranch seasoning
  • Optional: turkey pepperonis or roasted chicken / turkey
  • To dip: fat free ranch, sriracha, or honey mustard

Instructions

  • Heat a skillet over medium heat and spray with cooking oil. Once warm, add a pita to the skillet.
  • Layer mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese, chicken (or another meat), and seasoning onto the pita.
  • Place the top pita overtop the cheese, chicken, and seasoning layer then flip the quesadilla.
  • Let it cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
  • Serve with fat free ranch, sriracha, honey mustard, or warm marinara.

Notes

If you'd like to bake your quesadilla, assemble and put on a parchment lined baking sheet. Spray with a little cooking spray to help get the pita nice and golden and bake at 425°F for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Best served fresh, so I recommend enjoying right away rather than attempting to prep in advance. If you do have leftovers, however, you can store wrapped in tinfoil for up to 3 days. Reheat in a toaster oven or back on a skillet to keep the pita crispy.
