Prep eggs first. Whisk together eggs, egg whites, and 40 grams of the cottage cheese. Optional: blend cottage cheese prior to adding to egg mixture.
Warm pan, spray oil. Add chopped vegetables. Sautee for a few minutes.
Add egg mixture to pan and whisk to combine to get fluffy eggs. Add salt and pepper when almost done cooking.
Mix remaining cottage cheese and thecha chutney together.
Spread on half a tortilla, top with egg mixture, 1/4 cup of the cheese and fold over.
Cook in pan on each side for 2-3 minutes or air fry for 5 minutes (flip halfway through).
Enjoy!

Notes

Make ahead and re-heat to serve during the week. I place mine in the air fryer so they get nice and crispy on the outside for about 6-7 minutes max. The thecha chutney is spicy so be careful and adjust based on your spice level liking. You likely will not need any additional sauce with this quesadilla.
