Meatless Monday recipe of the week: Apple-icious Breakfast Quesadilla

I don’t see any reason why this simple quesadilla can’t be had for dinner just as easily as for breakfast. Have this on the side of any meat-free Thanksgiving leftovers, or just make a simple side salad, and you’ve got a quick and tasty meal.

Apple-icious Breakfast Quesadilla

2 6-inch flour tortillas

1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce

1/4 cup shredded reduced-fat Monterey jack cheese

2 tablespoons low-fat sour cream

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (or to taste)

2 teaspoons honey (or maple syrup) (optional)

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Place one whole wheat flour tortilla on an ungreased baking sheet. Spread half of the applesauce over tortilla; reserve half for garnish. Sprinkle half of cinnamon over applesauce. Top with cheese and second tortilla. Sprinkle remaining cinnamon on top.

Bake at 400 degrees for 6 to 8 minutes or until golden brown. Cool 2 minutes.

Cut into quarters and serve with reserved applesauce and sour cream. Add honey or maple syrup to these garnishes (or mix in more cinnamon) if desired. Serves 2.
