Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 24 minutes

Ingredients

• 4 brown rice tortillas, 8 to 9 inches in diameter, or any flour tortilla of your choice
• 2 large eggs, beaten with 1/8 tsp of salt
• 1 cup (4 oz/115g) shredded cheese
• 2 tomatoes, thinly sliced
• 8 slices of ham

Instructions

Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Place a tortilla in the pan. Sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of cheese on half of the tortilla. Place 4 to 5 slices of tomatoes on the cheese. Pour a quarter of the beaten eggs onto the tomatoes. Then place 2 slices of ham onto eggs followed by a sprinkling of another 2 tablespoons of shredded cheese.

Using a spatula, fold tortilla in half over the filling. Allow eggs to cook and tortilla to brown for about 3 to 4 minutes. Flip quesadilla over and continue to cook for another 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat with the other 3 tortillas.

Apple Chicken Quesadilla

Apple Chicken Quesadilla Recipe

• Prep time: 5 minutes
• Cook time: 5 minutes

 

Ingredients

• 4 Flour tortillas (approximately 8-inches wide)
• 1 cup cooked, shredded or chopped, chicken meat
• 1/4 lb cheddar or Monterey jack cheese, sliced or grated
• 1 apple, sliced
• 1/4 cup salsa

Method

1 Heat a large skillet on medium high heat. Place one tortilla in the skillet. Flip it a couple of times with a spatula, then let it sit in the pan heating up until air pockets form and parts of the tortilla begin to puff up. Flip it again.


2 Place cheese slices on half of the tortilla, at least 1/2-inch from the edge of the tortilla. Add chicken pieces on top of the cheese. Fold the tortilla over like an omelette, and press down on the folded tortilla with the spatula. Lower the heat to medium. At this point, if you have enough room in your skillet, you can add a second tortilla to the pan to begin to heat it up.


3 When the cheese inside the quesadilla has melted, remove the quesadilla to a cutting board. Open it wide and layer on apple slices and salsa. Fold the tortilla back again, and cut it into 3 triangles, as if you were cutting a pie. (You don't have to cut the quesadilla into triangles, it just makes it easier for kids to eat.)

4 Repeat with the remaining tortillas.

Yield: Makes 12 quesadilla triangles.
