Chicken, Apple, Spinach, and Cheddar Quesadillas
Servings 2 small children
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 small whole-grain flour tortillas gluten-free, if preferred
- 1/4 cup shredded cooked chicken
- 1 Tbsp finely chopped baby spinach leaves
- 1 tsp hemp hearts for added nutrition sounds odd, but they blend in really well and they’re a great source of omegas and fiber (optional)
- 8 thin slices apple skin on or off
Instructions
- Sprinkle half the cheese on one of the tortillas, then top with the chicken, spinach, the hemp hearts, if using, and slices of apple. Sprinkle the rest of the cheese on top, then place the other tortilla on top.
- In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook for 3 minutes on each side until the apples are soft.
- Using a pizza cutter, slice into wedges to serve.
Notes
Note: You can dice the leftover apple and freeze it to add to a smoothie.
