How to make Skinny Big Mac Quesadilla

To start, you want to heat a large frying pan with olive oil spray over medium heat. Chop your onion and add it to the frying pan with the lean ground beef. Using your spatula, break the beef up and cook it until it is no longer pink. Next, we’re going to upgrade the flavor of this dish by adding the dried minced onion, garlic powder, paprika, ground mustard, and salt. Make sure to stir to incorporate the spices evenly into the meat. Once you’ve done that, add the Worcestershire, ketchup, chopped pickles and pickle juice, and diced tomatoes. Simmer for about ten minutes over medium heat until the liquid is absorbed. Set aside. Now, it’s time to make the best part–the sauce! Mix together 1/4 cup of light mayo, 1 tbsp of ketchup, and 2 tbsp of chopped pickles to form the sauce. Laying out your wraps, add about one heaping cup of filling to each with a slice of cheese. Top each with 1 tbsp of sauce. Add more onions and pickles to your liking–and fold the wraps in half. Next, add cooking pray to a skillet and place the folded wrap on the skillet over medium low heat. Cook each for a few minutes per side until toasty. Flip the wraps gently, as to not lose any filling from the inside of the wraps. Once golden and crispy, add the shredded lettuce inside the wrap, or serve alongside.
