Ingredients

Start to finish: 20 minutes
Servings: 4

3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 cup low-fat plain yogurt
3 tablespoons reduced-fat sour cream
2/3 cup shredded reduced-fat Mexican cheese blend
1/3 cup shredded extra-sharp Cheddar cheese
Four 10-inch whole-wheat tortillas
Two 4-ounce cans roasted, diced green chilies
1/4 cup sliced pickled jalapenos (optional)
8 ounces sliced deli turkey breast, preferably smoked (about 8 slices)

Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium.
In a small bowl, combine the cilantro, yogurt and sour cream. Set aside.
In another small bowl, combine the Mexican cheese blend with the Cheddar cheese.
Place a tortilla on the counter. Spread a quarter of the cheese blend over half of the tortilla, then top with some of the chilies, jalapenos (if using) and about 2 slices of turkey. Repeat with remaining tortillas and ingredients.
Fold the tortillas in half and carefully transfer them to the grill. Grill the quesadillas, gently flipping them once, until they are crispy and golden and the cheese is just melted, 1 1/2 to 3 minutes per side.
To serve, slice each quesadilla into four wedges and serve with sour cream blend.
