Chicken Quearito
So if it's the year 2014, then this is NEW. If you are late to the game, ignore the NEW part. I love restaurants that combine names of food into one thing. It's so catchy. Must have gotten it from Pokemon or something. I recreated the "chicken" version. I dunno why they are in quotes. It is "real" chicken. I dunno why real is in quotes either... just go with it.

Serves: 1
Ingredients:
- 2 Premium White 60 Calorie Wraps - 120 Calories
- ¼ Cup White Latin Rice Cooked - 51 Calories
- 3oz Grilled Chicken Breast - 90 Calories
- 1 Tsp Taco Bell Chipotle Sauce - 18 Calories
- 1 Tsp Non-fat Greek Yogurt - 6 Calories
- ¼ Cup Mexican Cheese Blend - 110 Calories
- 1 Fajita Seasoning Packet
Rice Ingredients:
- 1 Cup Long Grain White Rice uncooked
- 1-1/2 Cups Water
- ½ Cup Chicken Stock
- 1 Clove Garlic
- 2 Tsp Fresh Chopped Cilantro
- 2 Tbsp Butter
- Salt & Pepper
Instructions:
- So the rice probably takes the longest, so lets start by finely
chopping up some fresh cilantro. I bought organic because I'm better
than you.
- Once you have chopped up enough for about 2 Tsp, lets grab a medium
pan with a lid and toss in our 1 Cup Rice, 1 Clove Garlic, 2 Tsp
Cilantro, 1-1/2 Cups Water, ½ Cup Chicken Stock and some salt &
pepper.
- Bring to a boil, then cover and let simmer for 15 to 18 minutes.
- Add 2 Tbsp Butter and remove from heat. This will allow the rice to
stay moist and tasty.
- For the chicken, I basically cut 3 Breasts in half (filet style),
drizzled on some olive oil, salt & pepper and browned them for
about 2 minutes per side on medium high heat. (Do not over cook, they
will be cooking again in the fajita sauce)
- Once you have browned all your chicken, slice them into thin strips.
Some may not be cooked all the way through which is fine. Toss the
strips back into the pan and add in your fajita seasoning and ⅓ Cup
water. Bring to a boil and let simmer for 10 minutes or until chicken
is fully cooked.
- For the Quesadilla, we will take one wrap and place it on a griddle
and add ¼ Cup Mexican Cheese Blend. Grill until the cheese has been
fully melted. At this point the one side of the Quesadilla will have
a slight grill to it, but nothing major. We will now take the other
tortilla wrap and place it on top of the cheese. The tortilla that is
not grilled will be the outside of our burrito.
- So flip the Quesadilla over so that you are adding to toppings to the
grilled side.
- Add 1 Tsp of Non-Fat Greek Yogurt, 1 Tsp of Chipotle Sauce and layer
on about 3 oz of grilled chicken strips then about ¼ Cup of Rice.
- Fold and spray down the tortilla and grill for 2 minutes a side until
all sides are nicely brown. Grill temperature is ideal at 300°F.
- Cut in half and eat!
