If the standard filling of your lunchbox is on edge, try making a quesadilla. A pair of crispy chicken and vegetable cakes are a great snack. Convenient to eat on the go and take with you.

Ingredients

For cakes:

2 cups (280 g) flour
⅔ glass (160 ml) water;
45 ml of vegetable oil;
a pinch of salt.

For filling:

90 g of boiled chicken;
115 g of hard cheese;
a handful of cilantro greens;
½ red onion;
3 tablespoons canned corn
80 g fresh tomatoes;
¼ lime juice;
1 teaspoon hot sauce

Preparation

We recommend using homemade flatbreads as they retain the juice of fresh vegetables well. The recipe is simple: combine all the ingredients from the list, knead the dough, let it sit for 10 minutes, then divide into portions and roll out thinly. The number of servings depends on the size of the cake you want.

Fry the finished tortillas in a dry frying pan until golden brown.

Simple tomato salsa is one of the ingredients in the filling. To prepare it, cut the tomatoes, mix with chopped onions, cilantro leaves, hot sauce, add a pinch of salt and pour over everything with lime juice.

Pour some of the cheese on top of the flatbread. The cheese layer will act as a barrier to keep it from getting wet.

Put tomato salsa on top of the cheese (drain the excess juice beforehand), sprinkle everything with corn kernels and distribute the boiled chicken disassembled into fibers. Sprinkle everything with cheese and cover with a second flatbread.

No matter how strong the temptation, you should not overdo it with the filling, including cheese (yes, we know, this is difficult), otherwise the cake will not be whole, all the contents will fall out when eaten.

Fry the quesadilla on a dry grill until golden brown and crisp.
