Quesadillas<br />
Quesadillas are a fun and easy dinner. And<br />
a perfect way to get children helping out in<br />
the kitchen. They can chop vegetables, grate<br />
cheese and put together their own quesadillas.<br />
If you’re only going to make 2 or 3 quesadillas,<br />
then it’s probably easiest to cook them<br />
in a frying pan. Whereas baking quesadillas<br />
allows you to make a whole bunch at once.<br />
If you want to fry the quesadillas instead<br />
of baking, heat a pan on medium, then toast<br />
the quesadillas for 3 to 5 minutes on each<br />
side.<br />
8 large flour tortillas or 16 small corn tortillas<br />
1 can refried beans<br />
1 tin of sliced black olives<br />
1 large red bell pepper<br />
6 spring onions<br />
4 Roma tomatoes<br />
2 avocados<br />
¼ cup cilantro<br />
1 cup grated cheese<br />
Salsa, sour cream and hot sauce for serving.<br />
1. Each quesadilla is prepared individually,<br />
allowing everyone to pick their favourite<br />
ingredients. Start by preheating the oven to<br />
400˚F. Lightly grease two baking sheets with<br />
vegetable oil.<br />
2. Next prepare all of the fillings. Drain the<br />
olives. Chop the red pepper, spring onions<br />
and tomatoes into bite-sized pieces. Slice the<br />
avocado. Wash and chop the cilantro. Grate<br />
the cheese.<br />
3. To put together a quesadilla, start by<br />
spreading a layer of refried beans over one<br />
tortilla. Have each person decorate the tortilla<br />
with their choice of fillings. Top with a ¼ cup<br />
of grated cheese, then put a second tortilla<br />
on top.<br />
4. Place the quesadillas on the baking<br />
sheets. Bake for 8 minutes. Remove from the<br />
oven. Press down on each quesadilla with<br />
a spatula to stick the layers together, then<br />
carefully flip the quesadilla over. Bake for<br />
another 8 minutes, until the cheese is melted<br />
and the tortillas have started to brown.<br />
5. Slice into quarters and serve with salsa<br />
and sour cream.<br />
