An easy lunch recipe for kids that packs the veggies in. Broccoli and cheese quesadillas with some sweetcorn too!
Want a hot lunch recipe that doesn't take too long to cook and packs in some veggies too? Then try my Broccoli & Cheese Quesadillas.
Broccoli can be a tricky vegetable for kids but mixed into the cheesy sauce it makes it a lot more palatable.
Broccoli Cheese Quesadilla Recipe
The full recipe with all the measurements and instructions are in the recipe card towards the bottom of this post but I've also included some step by step images here that you might find helpful.
- Cook some broccoli and sweetcorn in a saucepan on the hob then drain.
- Chop or mash the broccoli and add it to a bowl with cream cheese, grated cheese and garlic granules.
- Add a wrap to a frying pan and top with the cheesy broccoli mixture. Place another wrap on top.
- Fry on either side for a couple of minutes then cut into 6 triangles.
It's then ready to serve up for a tasty hot lunch at home. I serve it with some chopped veggies like carrots and cucumber and some fruit.
Storage
You can keep leftover quesadillas in the fridge and reheat again on the hob. But they are best eaten immediately after cooking.
