Yummy toasty quesadillas, are perfect for when you’re not in the mood to cook too much. Simple and best of all goes down well with the kiddos!
“The Chillis one better” – said the 5 year old.
How dare this child diss my quesadillas as such? I mean I’ve tried the quesadillas there and does she even know what she is saying to me!
Once I calmed down and realised then and there my daughter is from now on going to be my biggest food critic, I realised I didn’t quite get the quesadillas right after all.
So after a few attempts I’ve got the hang of it. There are no hard and fast rules here. Choose whatever filling your kids or you will enjoy. Leave out the greens by all means.
For us, I’ve used baby spinach and diced ham. I heat up some oil in a pan and add in the spinach. Cook till wilted, add in ham and give it a fry.
Put pan on stove, switch on and add in wrap. No need to wait till pan is heated. Tear up the slice of cheese and place on one side.
Add in filling.
Good melting cheese would have started to melt by now. So flip over one side of wrap and brush some melted butter.
Flip to other side. Press down a bit. Let both sides get nicely browned. And done. Cut into wedges.

Before starting, I just add some oil in a small pan and cook the spinach till wilted and throw in the diced ham too. The filling is ready.You can serve additional sides like microwaved corn or these air fried fries.I use the Mission brand wrap which I also use for my pizzas.
Thank you for dropping by! My name is Hema and I’m based in Malaysia. I got married about 15 years ago, and had to ‘suddenly‘ do the cooking. This is my space where I share good recipes which have worked for me and my family over the years. Hope you give them a go:)
