| Cooking Time | 1-2 minutes |

| Level of Difficulty | Easy |
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup drained cottage cheese
- 1/4 cup diced red bell pepper
- 2 tablespoons sliced green onion
- 1 tablespoon fresh chopped cilantro
- 1/2 teaspoon salt-free chipotle seasoning
- 2 flour tortillas (10-inch)
Step 1: Prepare the Cottage Cheese Mixture
In a medium bowl, stir together the cottage cheese, chopped red bell pepper, chopped green onion, chopped fresh cilantro, and salt-free southwestern chipotle seasoning until well combined.
This mixture will serve as the flavorful filling for your quesadilla.
Step 2: Assemble the Quesadilla
Place one tortilla on a large microwavable plate.
Spread the cottage cheese mixture evenly over the tortilla, leaving about a 1/2 inch border around the edge to prevent overflow when heating.
Top the mixture with the second tortilla, pressing down lightly.
Step 3: Microwave the Quesadilla
Microwave the stacked tortillas on high for 1 minute, or until the quesadilla is hot and the cottage cheese is slightly melted.
This short cooking time ensures the vegetables remain crisp while the flavors meld together.
Step 4: Cut and Serve
Remove the quesadilla from the microwave.
Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the quesadilla into 8 wedges.
Serve immediately while hot and enjoy!
