KFC Twister Sandwich

KFC Twisters are one of the few fast food items I miss.  This sandwich (although now discontinued) is close to 600 calories, which is something that definitely doesn't fit into my daily caloric allowance.  With a little shopping and experimenting I was able to make a version that is amazingly close to the real thing at only about half the calories.
Ingredients
1 low calorie tortilla (like Ole Xtreme Wellness High Fiber Low Carb Tortilla)
1/4 cup diced tomato
1/2 cup shredded lettuce
1 tablespoon pepper mayo
2-3 breaded chicken tenders (aprox. 100g)

Directions
Place tortilla on counter. Spread 1 tablespoon pepper mayo down the center of the tortilla.  Top with lettuce, tomato, and chicken tenders.  Fold and eat.

Chicken Fajita Quesadilla

After creating a delicious lime fajita chicken filling, I needed a great way to serve it. Looking for something I could pre-make and pack for lunch, I decided to make a quesadilla. This will definitely be something I will have the ingredients on hand to make often. It was delicious and filling.Ingredients
1 low calorie tortilla (like Ole Xtreme Wellness High Fiber Low Carb Tortilla)
1/4 cup 2% shredded cheese
1/2 cup lime chicken fajita mixture

Directions
Place tortilla on counter. Spread 1/2 cup of the lime fajita chicken on 1/2 of the tortilla. Sprinkle 1/4 cup shredded cheese on the other half of the tortilla. Fold in half.

Spray a medium sauce pan with non stick cooking spray. Place quesadilla in pan on medium heat until it is lightly brown. Flip and repeat on other side.

Let quesadilla rest for about 2 mins. then cut in half. Serve with sour cream and/or salsa.
