Quesadilla Cure
by Chazz
Hi there everyone!
By now everyone has settled into uni, and, being first years, were still partying hard and drinking long through the night. Most of my flatmates survive off ready meals and junk food, and they are starting to see the negatives. Sure, it’s quick and easy – good for when you need a quick meal before hitting the town or to sober up a bit – but I’ve seen them gain weight, have virtually no energy and struggle to sleep… serious drawbacks, in my opinion!
I have been using my copy of Save Your Stomach, which has loads of really quick meals – which are usually cheaper and quicker than some of my housemates’ ready meals! I particularly like Pizza On Toast, as you can’t go wrong with ketchup 
When we went out to a Mexican restaurant, I ordered Quesadilla, and was inspired to adapt the Pizza On Toast principle to make something similar. Instead of bread, ketchup and left overs, I used a tortilla, cheese and left overs. I filled half the tortilla with cheese, and whatever I had around in the cupboard– a bit of ham, chicken, sour cream etc. I then folded the tortilla in half over the filling, squidged it together, cut it into 3 pieces and fried it for a couple of minutes of each side. You could grill it I suppose, but if you do fry it you don’t need very much oil at all, so grilling isn’t that much healthier. It isn’t completely authentic Mexican… but if you like the Pizza On Toast and want to branch out a bit, this is a quick variation.
Try it out and let me know what you think!
