Note

Pearl says: "I like using the small sized Mission brand, whole grain, low-carb (3 net carb grams) tortillas for my quesadillas. We sometimes have quesadillas for evening meals for the whole family. I use regular whole-wheat tortillas for the younger children. Charlie, Meadow, and I enjoy the low-carb variety. My husband and I actually think they taste better than regular ones."
