Quesadilla

These are really good as a new idea for lunch boxes, especially if kids make themselves as they can proudly eat them! The inside is very much based on personal taste but here is what we liked.

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 wraps (Ours were gluten-free and square which works quite well for lunch boxes but round will work fine too - try and go for wholegrain if possible)

  • Handful of baby spinach

  • 100g approx. cheddar cheese, grated (You can use more or less according to your taste)

  • Topping suggestions - 1 bought piquillo chargrilled red pepper, chopped, we also like chopped up cooked broccoli scattered over and chopped up roasted sweet potato

 

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Place your wrap into a large frying pan – big enough to fit it and put it onto a medium to low heat.

  2. Sprinkle over some cheddar cheese, then some spinach, your red peppers (and other toppings if wanted) and then more of the cheddar

  3. Cover with another wrap and gentle press down

  4. Carefully warm the quesedilla. You don't need any oil, it shouldn't stick.

  5. Let it heat up in the pan gently so that the cheddar cheese starts to melt and by this happening it causes everything to stick to it and soften. You will need to press down on the quesadilla with a palette knife/fish slice/back of a wooden spoon to make sure everything is melting together, before flipping it over to the other side.

  6. Try to make sure all the cheese is melted and you get a little bit of colour on the wrap.

  7. When ready, cut into slices or triangles, cool and pop into your lunch box.
