Italian Hoagie Quesadilla
Serves 1
Directions
- 1Prepare the Kalamata olive sauce by blending all ingredients together until smooth, then place in the refrigerator.
- 2Dice the tomato, slice the onion, and shred the cabbage.
- 3Add the diced tomato, sliced onion, and shredded cabbage to a bowl with banana peppers and pickled vegetables.
- 4Pour about 1/4 cup of the Kalamata olive sauce onto the cabbage mixture and toss well to combine, then set aside.

- 6Heat up a nonstick surface, such as a crepe maker, to medium heat.
- 7Spread out freshly grated Parmesan cheese evenly across the entire nonstick surface.
- 8Top the Parmesan with a flour tortilla.

- 10Let it cook for 4 to 5 minutes until the tortilla and the cheese start to brown.

- 12Once the crust is crispy and golden, pull it off the heat.
- 13Open up the quesadilla and fill it with the cabbage mixture.
- 14Close the quesadilla up and cut it into four even pieces.
- 15Serve with extra Kalamata olive dipping sauce on the side.
- 16For a low-carb option, combine the sliced deli meat, cabbage, tomato, onion, banana peppers, and giardiniera in a bowl.
