QUESADILLA

Quesadilla is a Mexican dish consisting of a tortilla that is filled with cheese, chicken, meat or vegetables and is cooked on a griddle. Traditionally tortillas are made with cornmeal flour but they can also be made with wholewheat flour.

Quesadilla is a complete meal which is healthy and delicious. It is an excellent way of giving vegetables to your children.

Quesadilla can be made with different fillings.

It can be a chicken quesadilla which has cooked chicken breast with diced vegetables.

It can also be vegetable quesadilla which has cooked vegetables of your choice with diced onion, capsicum and tomato.

It can also be keema quesadilla which has cooked keema with vegetables.

I have made keema matar quesadilla which has cooked keema matar along with cheese and diced vegetables.
