Ingredients
  

  • 2 small whole-grain tortillas I use Trader Joe's low-carb, they are only 45 calories each!
  • 2 oz leftover cooked pork loin cut into small cubes
  • 1 Mini Babybel White Cheddar cut into small cubes
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup
  • Handful of raw spinach leaves chopped

Instructions
 

  • Heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat and place the first tortilla down. Top it with half the cheese and the pork then drizzle with maple syrup. TIP: Spray a teaspoon measuring spoon with non-stick cooking spray before measuring out the syrup. It will help it slide right out.

  • Pile on the spinach, the remaining cheese and top with the other tortilla. Press down to squish all the ingredients flat. Cook it until the bottom gets a little crispy and brown, about 3 minutes.

  • Flip carefully. There isn't a lot of cheese to hold everything together. This is when my oversized Ho Ho Ho spatula comes in handy!
  • Just slide your flipper underneath and place your hand on top to flip.
  • Cook another 2-3 minutes until crispy on the other side.
  • Remove and enjoy!
