One thing I have really missed since I have been watching my sugar intake is BBQ sauce.  The average BBQ sauce such as Sweet Baby Rays has 16 grams of sugar per 2 TBSP, um no thank you!  I decided to go on a mission and make my own!  Use this recipe for your sauce on the BBQ Chicken Quesadilla.

  • 1/4 cup Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 1/2 cup Reduced Sugar Ketchup (Heinz)
  • 3 TBSP Splenda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • Sprinkle of pepper
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • onion and garlic powder to taste
  • Splash of Worcestershire sauce

Combine all ingredients and season to your liking.  I feel like you can really enhance this to your taste and there are a lot of options.  According to #MyFitnessPal for 12 servings, this is 5 calories per serving and virtually no sugar added.

So onto the recipe:

Ingredients
  1. -1 High Fiber - Low Carb Traditional Flour Tortilla (La Tortilla Factory)
  2. -1 wedge Laughing Cow Spicy Pepper Jack Cheese
  3. -2 oz. Grilled or baked Chicken Breast
  4. -1/8 of a cup of Reduced Fat Cheddar Jack Shredded Cheese
  5. -Sprinkle of Red Onion
  6. -Sprinkle of Cilantro
  7. -Drizzle of the Sugar Free BBQ sauce referenced earlier
Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees
  2. Start by cooking your chicken. I seared mine in a skillet and cooked until done.
  3. Dice up your red onion and cilantro.
  4. If you have a gas stove use your burner to char the tortilla on both sides. (Gives it good flavor). If you do not have a gas stove you can use your oven. Place tin foil on a baking sheet and cook on both side until the tortilla is more firm. Be careful and do not let it burn or get too hard.
  5. Spread the cheese wedge over the tortilla.
  6. Top with chicken, shredded cheese (a sprinkle really), red onion and drizzle some of your sauce over the top.
  7. Bake until melted, monitor this as every oven is different
  8. Top with cilantro, fold in half and cut into 2 pieces
