One of my favourite Mexican dishes are quesadillas! A dish that, until recently, I never thought would be syn free on Slimming World.
A Quesadilla is a flour tortilla or a corn tortilla filled with a savoury mixture, topped with cheese, then folded in half to form a half-moon shape. Thanks to the Weight Waters tortilla wraps being a healthy extra, this dish can now be enjoyed without any syns (if using your healthy extra A & B).
If you like Mexican flavours, check out my Mexican Chicken lasagna , Mexican Enchilada Lasagna, Mexican Turkey Steaks & Herby Garlic Wedges, or Pulled Fajita Chicken!
The chicken bake was turned into the filling for these quesadillas!
