I make these with lowfat highfiber whole wheat tortillas, a spray of veg oil and add lowfat mozzerella and turkey pepperoni, mushrooms and green ppr or onion and dip into lowfat ranch dressing! I can enjoy these while my family eats take out pizza and no guilt comes with it and they taste great!	Submitted by: KMBRLY4 (7/2/10) report inappropriate
Although I haven't actually tried this recipe yet it seems like a yummy one for a low-carb diet conscious eater. I'm on the corrective phase of a low-carb program, and the ECC is only 10.3 carbs which is within limits.	Submitted by: BEINHAVE (4/26/10) report inappropriate
Yes--trying to cut back on sodium. I'll adjust with substituting lower sodium ingredients.	Submitted by: MILLIEBFIT (1/25/10) report inappropriate
How could I make this with less sodium? I know the cheese has a lot of sodium but over 1,000mg for this recipe. I might try it with chicken and less cheese and see how it goes. I love quesadillas	Submitted by: CONNIE462 (1/21/10) report inappropriate
I think this sounds like a yummy snack! If it has too much sodium, change it to your plan. I love all of the ideas everyone is sharing. It looks to be very quick and easy too. Which in my opinion looks to me to be a win, win recipe! Thanks for sharing.	Submitted by: SUSANVERREE (1/21/10) report inappropriate
corn tortillas are a good whole grain choice. the calorie coun will need to be adjusted. two average corn tortillas are one serving of grains ¡Ö 100 cal	Submitted by: FISHIE3 (1/21/10) report inappropriate
If you are like me and love salsa ( everyone loves to say "salsa" ) keep in mind that it is very low calorie and no fat at all so feel free to have a liberal helping. I will often cut back on the sour cream and load on the salsa :)	Submitted by: MOOTWO (1/21/10) report inappropriate
I make something similar only I browned ground turkey seasoned with some garlic powder, cumin and fresh pepper, used PAM spray on my pan, and added fresh pico de gallo inside--used Monterrey Jack cheese, served it with low fat refried black beans--it was a full meal	Submitted by: FAYBEE3 (1/21/10) report inappropriate
You can use Butter flavored cooking spray if you are looking for the butter flavor but I totally agree the sodium is a little high. I use my quesadilla maker and I usually use cooking spray on it. Also you can use plain non fat yogurt instead of sour cream, can barely tell the difference.	Submitted by: JERRIB19 (1/21/10) report inappropriate
I have been making this for years. Sometime I add pinto beans (a light layer) for extra protein and less cheese. Also, if you have a cast iron skillet or teflon pan or grill you don't need butter or oil to grill it. I never use either and they come out fine.	Submitted by: JOAN1237 (1/21/10) report inappropriate
THANKS FOR THIS RECIPE, I AM TRYING TO EAT LOW CARB AND THIS SOUNDS VERY GOOD. I WILL TRY IT TODAY.	Submitted by: EVANIAN (1/21/10) report inappropriate
Why not use unsalted butter?	Submitted by: GRAMPIAN (1/21/10) report inappropriate
I make with peppers, onions, jalapenos (if you like spicy) chicken breast sauted together with a little cumin, cayenne pepper, paprika, chili powder, garlic.I put it on whole wheat wrap, add a bit low fat cheese and cover with another wrap and bake. MUCH less fat . This recipe's fat is a day's worth	Submitted by: MYDONNA13 (3/29/09) report inappropriate
All this balony about too much sodium, fat and the like is what makes dieting soooo tedius. It's ONE meal. It's not every meal for the rest of your life, so lighten up, adapt it (if you must) but be a bit more grateful for what is a very tasty, very good meal idea! Make dieting FUN!	Submitted by: HAVEIT!

I love these, but the amount of sodium in this one still makes it VERY unhealthy. Too much sodium is as bad for one in the long run as are too many carbs and too much fat. It just affects us in a different manner. A lifetime of excessive amounts of sodium will cause health problems.	Submitted by: ROGERSON44 (3/25/09) report inappropriate
For those of you who are rating this one-star, or bad, please keep in mind that this is a low-carb recipe, NOT a low-fat. Anytime the fat content of a processed food is lowered, the carbs increase to compensate. Feel free to change the recipe to fit your needs, but do not bad cuz of amt. of fat.

WOW thats a lot of sodium!! :/	Submitted by: SONYA_J (3/24/09) report inappropriate
We loves these at my house, however there is a ton of sodium in this recipe. I use homemade salsa - much lower sodium, light sour cream, and I do add bell pepper, scallions, and diced tomatoes to the inside. In effort to get more whole grains, I use low carb whole wheat tortillas. Pair w/salad.	Submitted by: MRS4WHEELBOB (3/24/09) report inappropriate
seems like alot of sodium	Submitted by: GETFITNOWCJ (3/24/09) report inappropriate
Where are all the veggies. A little less cheese and more veggies and you would have fewer calories. As well as ommitting the butter for cooking spray.	Submitted by: MINXIE3 (3/24/09) report inappropriate
These sounded great till I seen the sodium..not good for me. Anna	Submitted by: ACLINE9527 (3/24/09) report inappropriate
I made several changes and they were delicious. I use wheat tortillas, 2% cheese, and low-fat sour cream. Also put a little onion, green pepper and chicken in with the cheese. Instead of using butter in a skillet bake them in the oven.	Submitted by: KATHYSEA (3/24/09) report inappropriate
Sounds great but way to much sodium.	Submitted by: MYGEORGE (3/24/09) report inappropriate
to save calories, I left off the sour cream and no butter. and used the 2% cheese.	Submitted by: KITT52 (3/24/09) report inappropriate
Mission Hill makes a line of "carb balance" tortillas that are even better for this. The whole wheat variety only has 4 net carbs per tortilla and a nicer texture than most other whole wheat tortillas I've tried. Definitely having this for lunch today though.
