An all-time favourite Mexican snack prepared with mild twists that make it acceptable as an occasional treat for diabetics. The tortillas in this recipe are made with whole wheat flour instead of maida and are stuffed with a delectably flavoured mixture of sautéed veggies and low-fat paneer.


The grated low-fat paneer gives a nice texture to the stuffing, making it soft and succulent enough so you do not notice the absence of cheese. With loads of fibre-rich veggies and no refined flour or cheese, the Veggie Stuffed Quesadillas make a delicious snack for diabetics.

Quite filling and very tasty. Its full of fibre from the veggies and wheat flour both. So it is a great addition to a diabetic menu.

Healthier wheat flour tortillas stuffed with crunchy stir fried vegetables. Tasty combination of spring onions, shredded cabbage, carrot strips, bean sprouts and paneer stir fried with minimum cooking in soya sauce and chillies in vinegar.
