| lots of jalapenos for Cara! |
I have been looking for an alternative to the Multi-Grain tortillas at Central Market- they are tasty but I still feel like I am eating big, pillowy carbs when I cook with them. Searching the freezer section for something a bit more balanced, I found the Food for Life Sprouted Grain Tortillas. These are a bigger than your average tortilla, but you only need one for a quesadilla. At 150 calories with 5 grams of fiber and 6 grams of protein, I probably would have been willing to eat these even if they had the texture of paper-mâché.
Thankfully, the tortillas were good! They added a bit of nuttiness, but I wasn't distracted by the grains. The quesadilla came together quickly, with some melted low-fat cheddar cheese, pan-seared yellow and red bell peppers, and the last wilted greens from my Spring Mix.No cardboard textures here- we will have to find another material to build a piñata made in our own likeness.
My next Tex-Mex adventure is finding an alternative to the fabled Chuy's Creamy Jalapeno Dip: an often imitated, never duplicated Texas treasure. A girl can dream, right?
