Cheese Quesadillas, perfect for lunchboxes | Kids Eat by Shanai

Quesadillas


  • Yield: 16 pieces 1x

Description

Crispy tortillas stuffed with melted cheese and all your favourite fillings.  This is my super simple quesadilla guide, from a simple cheese to chicken & avocado and an option even using leftover tacos!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 tortillas
  • 1½ cups grated cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • Choice of filling

Instructions

Lay out two of the tortillas.

Divide half of the grated cheese between them and spread out evenly.  Top with your filling of choice, remaining cheese and then the last two tortillas.

Heat half the butter in a large frypan over medium heat and add one of the quesadillas.  Cook for 2 minutes on each side until lightly browned and the cheese has melted.

Remove from pan and cut into 8 triangles.  Repeat with the remaining quesadilla.

Notes

You can also assemble one tortilla at a time, just place filling on half, then fold over and cook as per recipe above.

Some suggested fillings;

  • Cheese – leave recipe as is, don’t add anything extra.
  • Chicken + Avocado – add in 1 cup leftover roast chicken & 1 avocado, diced.
  • Mushroom + Feta – add in 1½ cups sliced mushrooms & 1 cup feta.
  • Leftover Tacos – add in 1 cup cooked taco mince, 1 tomato diced & ½ avocado diced.
