This is a quick snack to make when kids are home from school- hungry and cranky. It is easy enough to make and has very kid friendly ingredients like cheese. I used home made corn and flour tortillas, recipe for which is also given below.
Before I start with the recipe, let me apologise for the picture accompanying this post. It is sad to say the least and does not do justice to quesadillas. But like I always say for all my uninspiring pictures... don't judge a book by its cover. This tastes GOOD!!! And is wholesome and filling...
The best part of this recipe is also that you have a free rein on what you want to use as the filling.The only constant is Cheese. Most things go well as a filling - onions, olives, capsicums, cooked chicken, spinach, refried beans, mushrooms... the list goes on.
Now for the recipe
Ingredients:
For the torillas:
2/3 cups Maize flour (not cornflour)
1/3 cup All Purpose Flour
Salt to taste
For the filling:
1 cup Cheese
your choice of fillings ( sliced onions, chopped olives, sliced mushrooms, refried beans, spinach, sliced capsicum etc etc)
Method:
For the Tortillas:
Make a stiff dough using a little water a teaspoon at a time.
Roll out into tortilla (like a chapati) Watch this for instructions on how to roll out a tortilla.
Cook for a few minutes on a flat griddle till brown spots appear.
For the quesadillas:
Place the tortilla flat.
On one half put a couple of tablespoons of cheese.
Over that out the filling of your choice.
Fold over into a semi circle.
Place on the griddle again and cook both sides till cheese melts a little bit.
Cut into pieces and serve hot along with some salsa and guacamole.
ENJOY!!!!!!
