  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! - 3/26/09

  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. - 3/24/09

  Along with other 'good tips'. I make these in my George Foreman grill - just spray it. No need for oil/butter and no need to flip it, perfectly browned and crunchy. You could use any sandwich maker machine as well. - 3/24/09

  I omit the sour cream and use whole wheat tortillas and no butter (just a spray of cooking oil). Easy and a tasty snack or lunch! You can also add veggies inside it for a heartier (and healthier) quesadilla. - 8/8/07

  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. - 3/24/09

  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. - 3/15/09

  So simple, and so yummy. I used tomato basil tortillas which gave it a little something extra. If I hadn't used this recipe, I'm certain I would have added gobs more cheese. 0:) But it didn't need it! - 3/24/09

  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. - 3/24/09

  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 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. - 1/21/10

MUCH less fat . This recipe's fat is a day's worth - 3/29/09

  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 - 7/3/15

  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. - 3/21/14

  I make mine in the toaster oven. No butter, and no pan to wash. Some types of flour tortillas will puff up really nicely.
  
  If I don't have sour cream or salsa, I use Annie's Goddess salad dressing as a dip. - 8/14/12

  I spray my pan with butter flavored Pam and it does the same thing without adding the calories of the real butter or the added sodium content and if you use fat free sour cream or fat free Greek yogurt, the calorie count will be lower still...just a suggestion

  I love it! Here's what I do to lower the fat and carb content. Use cooking spray and a non-stick pan. Mission makes a 4net carb tortilla! Woot! and you can also find low fat chedder or shredded cheese mixes. Just cook longer at a lower temp for low fat cheeses to help them melt evenly! - 1/30/20
