Hippie Quesadilla




Protein: Eggs, cheese, tofu, beans, grains
The "Hippie Quesadilla" was introduced to me by my hippie cousin Elisheva and includes a very hippie tortilla called Ezekiel Bread (sold in the refrigerated section of Whole Foods). It has a picture of a dove on it, lots of sayings from the bible, and looks like it is the soul source of income of a commune in New Mexico (I totally made that up).

In any case...

Ingredients:
-Ezekiel Bread tortilla (sold in Whole Foods. Any tortilla will work, but this is the best by far).
- Shredded Parmesan Cheese

Some combination of...
- Veggies: Could be leftover veggies or a salad wilting in your fridge, fresh veggies that cook quickly (e.g. spinach, bok choy, bell pepper, zucchini--again, slightly wilted works fine)
- Avocado (for a little extra fat)
- Slices of tofu
- Cooked beans
- 2 eggs or some egg whites

1. Put a little olive oil in a frying pan.
2. Lay on the tortilla so it can get slightly crispy on the bottom.
3. I then crack 2 eggs on top or pour on some egg whites (you may have to flip over the tortilla momentarily--then flip it back-- so the egg cooks before the tortilla burns).
4. Add the shredded cheese and veggies.
5. Fold the deal over and let everything melt together for a few delicious moments.
6. Serve. Yummy with salsa.
