Kids Breakfast Quesadillas
My kids love quesadillas, they are one of our favourites for either lunch or dinner. We usually have them filled with cheese and veg. It never occurred to me that they would make a fantastic breakfast addition. I had some spare tortillas and we all know that peanut butter and banana are a great combination so I thought it was worth a try.
Limitless Flavour Combinations
Just like savoury quesadillas the options for sweet quesadillas are limitless. Experimenting with a lot of different combinations these are some of our favourites that we have discovered.
Peanut Butter and Banana
Cream Cheese and Raspberries
Applesauce
Chocolate Spread and Strawberries
If you've never made quesadillas before they are ridiculously easy. Traditionally, quesadillas are made on a non stick frying pan but when you have a crowd to feed that's easier said than done. I personally like to use two frying pans to help speed up the process or alternatively you can grill under a low heat. If you are using a pan to make quesadillas then do not use any oil or butter, heat on a dry pan over a medium heat.
Obviously you can use any tortilla wrap, wholegrain, white or mini. My children are very skeptical about wholegrain wraps so I use regular ones but I do tend to use the mini ones.
How To Make Quesadillas
Once you have chosen your fillings it's now time to make! Firstly, spread your chosen flavour onto the tortilla wrap but making sure to leave a small gap between the edge. Next, add any additional toppings but again making sure you do not go too close to the edge. Finally add another tortilla wrap on top, then add to a warm, dry pan. Heat both sides for a few minutes until the tortilla wraps start to brown and the inside has melted. Alternatively, fold the tortilla in half to create a semi circle and add to the dry pan. Heat through both sides until melted.

Place the strawberries onto the wrap, spreading them out. Next cover with the second wrap. Place the quesadilla onto a warm, dry pan. Allow each side to heat for a couple of minutes until lightly browned with a warm, melted inside.
