Weight Watchers Smart Ones Anytime Selections Chicken & Cheese Quesadilla Print E-mail

The Why:  I served these to a few friends that would never eat anything that says “Weight Watchers” on it – and they loved them. Honestly, they are really great tasting, and reasonably low in calories. It’s made with grilled white meat chicken, a three-cheese blend, peppers and onions folded into a crispy flour tortilla

The Health Bonus: It has 5 grams of fiber, 20% of your daily calcium needs, and 6% of your daily iron needs.

What We Liked Best: The taste, just try it.

What We Liked Least: Wish it were 50 calories less so we can have two of them for lunch—and that they would make an organic version.

What It Replaces: Taco Bell

The Price: $3.19

Other Offerings: Fiesta Quesadilla

Where to Buy: Supermarkets nationwide

Not one of late to eat frozen foods but since said Weight Watchers ate the Chicken and Cheese Quesadilla. Perhaps not heating it correctly even though by heating directions in the microwave was disappointing in the taste and wort of tough. Have tried the Weight Watchers desserts (Smart Ones) and they're good.
