Another Sunday meal prep is upon us! What better thing to get excited about this week than chorizo quesadillas?! For those who don’t know, chorizo is traditionally a type of spicy pork sausage, but I had ground turkey in the freezer, so that’s what I used ♀️ These quesadillas are tasty nutrition power-houses, full of protein, fiber, and almost 9g of the healthy unsaturated fats!
