Queens school first public school in nation to serve only vegetarian meals

<p>A black bean and cheese quesadilla made with a whole wheat tortilla gives you complete protein and much more.</p>

<p>Here’s the nutrition information listed for that exact dish from an online recipe:</p>

<p>"Per serving: 377 calories; 16 g fat ( 5 g sat , 8 g mono ); 13 mg cholesterol; 46 g carbohydrates; 0 g added sugars; 13 g protein; 10 g fiber; 679 mg sodium; 581 mg potassium.</p>

<p>Nutrition Bonus: Calcium (25% daily value), Folate (23% dv), Iron (19% dv), Potassium (17% dv).</p>

<p>Carbohydrate Servings: 2 1/2</p>

<p>Exchanges: 2 1/2 starch, 1 1/2 lean meat, 2 fat"</p>

<p>Because it’s a little high on carbs, I’d question adding the roasted potatoes, but if my vegetarian daughter made herself a black bean and cheese quesadilla for lunch and had some vegetables on the side, I’d consider that a healthy, well-balanced lunch. And I’d probably ask if she could make one for me, too. Sounds tasty.</p>
