Low Carb??? I think not-- my carb limit is 20g/day. This is 18.8 g for one--what am I supposed to eat the rest of the day?? Submitted by:

Sounds good, but when the carbs are higher than the fat...it's not a low carb meal IMO. Not knocking the food, but it should be truly low in carbs (5g) and high in fat or just be a Quesadilla Submitted by:

The supposed protein content of this recipe makes no sense. The 1/3 cup of cheese accounts for a little less than 10g, so where's the other 13g of protein supposed to be coming from? At most 6g could come from the wrap, but that still leaves 7g of protein unaccounted for. Submitted by:

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:

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:

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:

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:

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:

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:

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:

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:

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:
