Instructions
- 01
Place the finely chopped red onion or spring onions in a bowl with 3-4 chopped baby plum tomatoes, a small handful of sweetcorn, some mixed herbs and 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin. Mix well.
- 02
Preheat a non-stick frying pan or griddle pan over a medium heat.
- 03
Put one tortilla on the pan and cover one half with your chosen filling ingredients and some grated cheese. Fold in half and press down.
- 04
Cook for 1-2 minutes then carefully turn over with a spatula - keeping the open side at the top so the fillings don't fall out.
- 05
Cook the other side until the cheese is melted and bubbling. If the wrap looks like it will burn before the cheese is ready turn the heat down.

Variations & swaps
Easy to adapt
- My kids prefer a simple quesadilla - with just cheese and tomatoes. It’s not a million miles from pizza - and that’s why they like it so much.
- You could even make them with passata or blended tomato sauce if chopped up tomatoes aren’t your kid’s favourite thing.
- Or if you're lucky enough to have a little vegetable-lover in the family pack in their favourite veggies and watch them devour their quesadilla.
- In the version in the photos I've included coriander, corn and red onions as well as cheese and tomatoes. This makes it lovely and colourful.
- Another favourite quesadilla recipe of mine is roasted sweet potatoes, black beans, chopped coriander and chillies.
