(you can use a pre-mixed cheese instead of the 2 cheeses)

Tortillas
Salsa and Sour cream to garnish
Mix first 6 ingredients. Add taco seasoning to taste, depending on how spicy you like your quesadillas.

Aug 15th
1 box sugar-free Jell-O
1/4 cup boiling water
2 6-ounce cartons low-fat or fat free yogurt
1 8-ounce carton whipped topping
1/2 cup sliced fresh fruit (optional)
1 8-inch reduced-fat graham cracker pie crust
Dissolve Jell-O in boiling water. Mix in yogurt. Fold cool whip and fresh fruit into mixture.
Place in pie crust and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
Garnish and enjoy!
NOTE: You can use any combination of yogurt and Jell-O flavors. On the show, I used peach (peach yogurt, peach jell-o, fresh peaches), lime (key lime pie yogurt and lime jell-o), and strawberry (strawberry yogurt, strawberry jell-o, strawberries). I would love to know what pineapple, blueberry, or any other pies taste like!
