The idea for this skinny cheesy hot dog quesadilla was hatched as I was cleaning out the fridge around lunch time and discovered a couple of hot dogs lurking.
Since quesadillas are one of my favorite things on earth to eat, I decided to use one of them to make a skinny cheesy hot dog quesadilla for lunch. Topped with a smattering of mustard, relish and ketchup, it turned out better than I'd hoped.
I balanced things out by having a small orange spinach salad alongside.

Skinny Cheesy Hot Dog Quesadilla
Ingredients
- 1 high fiber, low carb quesadilla (like the kind from Ole Xtreme Wellness)
- 1 fully cooked fat free hot dog, cut into ¼-inch thick rounds (I like Hebrew National)
- ½ cup shredded low fat cheese
- condiments of your choice: mustard, relish, ketchup, salsa, hot sauce, bbq sauce, etc. (optional)
Instructions
- Spray a nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat it over medium-high heat.
- Put the tortilla in the skillet. Sprinkle one half of the tortilla with cheese. Arrange the hot dog slices on top of the cheese.
- Cook until the underside of the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt. Fold the unfilled side of the tortilla over the filled side and press gently.
- Remove from the skillet and cut into 3 or 4 wedges. Serve with your favorite hot dog condiments.
