Hungry yet? 

So here's my twist on saving calories on these delicious quesadillas and not sacrificing on great taste!

GRILLED QUESADILLAS FOR TWO
- 1 package of ancient grain tortillas -- These are divine! They're a great substitute to white flour tortillas, you wont even notice the difference. PLUS they're lower in calories and high in healthy grains to keep you fuller longer!
- 1 package of 4 chicken breasts (opt for cage-free...which means you're eating a healthy animal)
- 1/4 cup of cheese (you're going to have plenty of toppings so don't worry about the lack of cheese)
- 1 chopped onion 
- 1 chopped red pepper
- 1 chopped green pepper
- 2 avocados 
- Drew's Home-made Spicy Chicken Seasoning (details below)
- Fresh salsa (we purchased ours in the vegetable cooler section of target) 
- Plain Greek yogurt (not pictured but a GREAT substitute to sour cream!) 

DREWS HOMEMADE SPICY CHICKEN SEASONING 
- 1 tablespoon sea salt
- 1 tsp paprika
- 2 tablespoons of chili powder 
- 1 tsp of cumin 
Mix together in a bowl and use based on preference. 

Create a tin foil container for your chopped up onion, green pepper and red pepper. Drizzel with olive oil or ghee. Add the entire tin foil bag to the grill and let the veggies begin to cook. Next, grill up your chicken breasts and continue to drizzle lime juice while cooking, this will create juicy chicken (this a Drew's family secret to amazing chicken)! Sprinkle on Drew's Seasoning to desired preference (if you'd like to do less salt you can use 1 teaspoon instead of 1 tablespoon). Once chicken is done, set aside and cut into bite size strips. Meanwhile, turn the grill to low and coat the outside of tortillas with a little olive oil (this will prevent it from sticking to the grill). Once the tin foil bag with the veggies is done cooking, load in all ingredients. Cover with the top tortilla and let the bottom one become brown before turning. When you're ready to turn, grab a plate and carefully flip the quesadilla over so the other side becomes brown. All the contents should stay inside once the cheese has had a chance to melt. Once golden brown -- you're ready to remove from the grill and cut up and serve with your favorite toppings! 

ENJOY!
