Try to make your own Quesadillas... you can use olive oil instead of corn oil, which would be a healthy alternative. You can load 'em up with veggies/chicken or whatever. It's so simple that the girl who catches toast on fire, me, can make these... Google some recipes. They're sooo tasty, it takes a while to get sick of them. Peanut butter and Jelly. Experiment with different jellies. Make some roll ups with tortillas, ranch dressing, lettuce and lunch meat. It's gooood.You can use mayo if you don't like ranch. Learn to love avocado. It is a healthy fruit that has is actually high in fat, but it's the GOOD kind of fat. I think it's tasty, and you can use it like a spread on anything, or eat it plain! Mix up tomatoes, garlic and lime juice with the avocado, and VOILA, you have guacamole, which is great with chips to dip. Hope that helps! :D
