This is one my most awesomest snack discoveries as of late….sweet potato hummus and gluten free crackers.  This hummus is so freaking good it’s ridiculous and the crackers are super light..amazing after workout snack…..i need to buy more because mine are gone…..

i did a huge leg workout today and usually when I do heavy squats, presses and lunges I always try to feed myself really well when I am done.  Leg workouts usually exhaust me and I was craving quesadillas….so here is my alternative…….

1/4-1/2 tomato

1/4-1/8 onion (i used white because it was what I had in the fridge)

whole wheat quesadillas (2) or 1 and make a half of a quesadilla

hot sauce (i use franks)

Olive oil (optional)

shredded cheese, i shred my own in a food processor….i use manchego, cheddar and actually sometimes i throw in some mozzarella (I don’t shred that though)

or you can use one of those 3 cheese blends.

I use a very small amount of cheese on anything like grilled cheese or quesadillas because the more cheese you add the more fattening it is.  I want just enough cheese to flavor and give the appropriate texture.

Dice the tomato and onion, saute in a pan until onion is cooked…I added the onion first and several minutes later added the tomato.  I also added a slight splash of olive oil just to ensure the onions didn’t burn.

After they are both cooked, remove from pan and place in separate bowl or plate to the side

Put the whole wheat tortillas on the pan, add tomatoes and onion, add cheese (a sprinkle of cheese, cover the whole tortilla ((barely)).  Add hot sauce, I cover the whole thing in hot sauce.  Put the other tortilla on top and wait for it to cook.  When the cheese starts melting you can flip it but becareful that everything doesn’t fall out of it.  

When it’s cooked slice with a pizza cutter…….
