Recipe #3: BLT Quesadilla

To somebody who does not enjoy tomatoes (like myself) this may LOOK too tomato-ey for you... but let me assure you, IT IS DELICIOUS!!!  TRUST me... I do not like tomatoes, but I really really really enjoyed this recipe!!

Ingredients:
-1 large Tortilla (recommended:  Use La Tortilla Factory Smart & Delicious Low Carb/High Fiber tortilla)
-2 tablespoons fat-free shredded cheese (I used cheddar but mozzarella works too!!)
-2 slices extra - lean turkey bacon
-Half plum tomato diced (recommended:  Use a Roma Tomato)
-Half cup shredded lettuce

Sauce:
-1 tablespoon fat-free Mayonnaise
-1 tablespoon Ketchup

Directions:
-Cook bacon according to the package directions, either in the microwave or in a pan sprayed with nonstick spray.  Once cool enough to handle, roughly chop bacon and set aside.

-Bring a pan sprayed with nonstick spray to medium heat and lay the tortilla flat in the pan.  Top evenly with cheese.

-Once cheese begins to melt, cover half of the tortilla with bacon and tomato.  Using a spatula, carefully fold the cheese-only side over the other half, pressing down with the spatula to seal.  Cook side 1 for about a minute.  Flip and continue cooking for about 1 minute or until both sides are toasty.  Remove from heat.

-To make the sauce, combine mayo and ketchup in a small dish.  Cut quesadilla into triangles, top with shredded lettuce and serve with sauce on the side.
