Spray a pan with cooking oil and cook 130g of extra lean beef mince over high heat, breaking it apart as it cooks. Just before it's fully done, add the onion powder, garlic powder, 10g of mustard and 2 tbsp of Worcestershire sauce — this keeps the meat juicy.
- 3
Spread half the sauce evenly over the entire low-calorie wrap.
- 4
On one half of the wrap, pile on the cooked mince, sliced pickles and 40g of low-fat cheese.
- 5
Fold the empty half over and toast the quesadilla in the same pan over high heat for 1–2 minutes.
- 6
Cut and serve with the remaining sauce on the side for dipping.
