For kids : easy quesadilla

                                                    

My son loves to check inside my kitchen. I think it's good to introduce kids to cooking at an early age, which would make them more independent around the kitchen when they grow up.
Last week he came jumping in, my sister calls him Roo because he always hops about, and goes "Mumma I want to help". I was planning to make some sausage-filled quesadilla for him but since he was so impatient I opened a can of tuna, flaked some into a bowl with a tiny bit of pepper and salt, and then sliced some cherry tomatoes into nice rounds into another and a small handful of cheddar. I have started introducing a little cheese to him, and so far it is going ok.

 
Anyway, he loved assembling it, and then I heated a little oil and pan-fried it on both sides, tasted delicious. The fun way to get kids to finish is to cut it into triangles and then put it back in circle form and then let them count how many pieces are left. It's a great way of teaching numbers and subtraction.

For one
2 cooked roshi or any flatbread
sliced tomatoes or cherry tomatoes
flaked canned tuna, seasoned with a little salt and pepper
handful of cheddar cheese
seasoning
oil

1. Add half the cheese on one flatbread, can use leftover roshi, tortillas or chapatti.

2. Layer the tomatoes, then tuna flakes.

3. Add the rest of the cheese on top, season with a little pepper ( don't add any more salt)



4. Cover with the 2nd flatbread and press down.

5. Heat a large frying pan with a little butter or oil and place the quesadilla in it. Fry till nice and golden on one side, then turn it over carefully and cook the other side. To make it more fat-free you can pop it in the oven after brushing it with a little butter.

Quesadillas ( pronounced kay-sah-DEE-yah)are a great way to use up leftover flatbread, such as roshi, tortillas and chapatti and even paratha.
