Quesadilla Burgers

yield: 8 burgers (4pts/burger)
cooking spray
8 slices of fat-free american cheese
4 whole wheat tortillas
1 lb lean ground beef

1. make 8 little hamburger patties (like sliders), we buy the roll of ground beef (hey - I'm a sale shopper) so I just defrosted it enough to where I could slice it into eight patties and it was still slightly frozen so it'd hold shape, this made it REALLY easy
2. grill (or fry) the hamburger patties
3. cut tortillas into forths, set aside
4. once the patties are done, spray a pan with cooking spray and set it to medium heat
5. place one tortilla section down, top with half of a slice of cheese, then the burger, another half slice of cheese and then top with another tortilla section
6. heat until the bottom tortilla gets browned (2-3 mins), then flip and repeat
7. serve it up...we had ours with salsa but you could do normal toppings like ketchup and mustard, too

The verdict? HUGE hit. We'll do this again for sure. It was really tasty and we even had ours with some steamed (zero point) veggies - YUM! If you wanted to save half a point, you could opt out of two half slices of cheese on each burger...but frankly - it's worth it! And yes...I took a picture with a bite out of the burger - I wanted you to actually see the burger, lol!
