Preparation time: 1 hour 10 minutes.

Drying time: 12 - 24 minutes.

Total preparation time: 1 hour 22 minutes - 1 hour 34 minutes.

Ingredients (for 4 small quesadillas):

• 4 small integral tortillas (about 20 cm
• 160 g roasted chicken or cooked chicken
• 120 g mozzarella or mild gouda* (see note)
• 60 g of carrots
• 60 g of sweet corn
• 40 g of red pepper
• 1 teaspoon of olive oil (for the pan as needed)
• Cream cheese (for the edges of the tortilla)

Preparation:

0. Do not wash chicken meat before heat treatment.

1. Cut the chicken into very small pieces. Peel the carrot. Clean the pepper.

2. Cook the carrot until soft, cool and chop finely.

3. Cook the corn.

4. Cut the red pepper into small cubes.

5. Grate the cheese.

6. Place the tortilla on a flat surface. Spread about 20 g of grated cheese on one half of the tortilla, leaving about 1-2 cm of empty edge. Over cheese, put about 40 g of chicken. Add some carrots, corn and pepper. Place another 10 g of cheese over the vegetables.

7. On the very edge of the tortilla, about 1 cm from the edge, spread cream cheese thinly.

8. Fold the empty half of the tortilla over the filling, so that the shape of a half moon is obtained. Lightly press the edges of the tortilla with the fingers to close the tortilla

The cream cheese will bring the two sides together.

9. Heat the frying pan to a medium temperature (4 out of 6). If necessary, add quite a bit of olive oil.

10. Place the folded quesadilla in the pan and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until the tortilla is lightly browned and the cheese is completely melted.

11. Remove and leave to cool for 3-5 minutes.

12. Cut each quesadilla into 4 triangles.

Notes:

• For children, it is best if the filling is thin and even arranged, because that way the triangles will be easier to hold and eat.
• For the children's version: do not overfill the tortilla — a thinner layer of filling holds much better and is easier to eat.

Note on the choice of cheese

You can choose:

• Mozzarella cheese - it is mild and melts nicely
• Gouda cheese – mild in taste and melts nicely.
• Mild cheese - if you want a more pronounced taste.

For the children's quesadilla, I would choose mozzarella or mild gouda.

Tips for quesadilla for kids with chicken, cheese and veggies:

1. Spread the filling in a thin, even layer so that the quesadilla does not fall apart when eating.
2. Cut the chicken very finely, without large pieces that would make it difficult to chew.
3. Also cut the vegetables into very small cubes.
4. Soften the carrots well by cooking them so that they are softer and easier to chew.
5. Use corn cooked and soft; in younger children, the grains can be further crushed.
6. Choose mozzarella or mild gouda because they have a mild taste and melt well.
7. Don't overstuff the tortilla — less stuffing means it will seal better and the triangles will be more stable.
8. Apply the cream cheese very thinly, only along the edge, to serve as "glue".
9. Bake on medium heat, not high, so that the cheese doesn't melts before the tortilla browns too much.
10. After baking, leave to cool for 3-5 minutes before cutting.
11. For younger children, you can cut the triangles into smaller pieces or leave them a little larger, depending on how easy the child eats.
12. If your child is bringing a quesadilla to school, cool it completely before wrapping to prevent condensation from forming and making the tortilla gooey.
13. For a school snack, it can be packed in a paper napkin or baking paper, then in a lunch box.
14. When choosing chicken, use well-cooked chicken, without bones and skin.

Vreme pripreme: 1 h 10 minuta.

Vreme przenja: 12 - 24.minuta.

Ukupno vreme pripreme: 1 h 22 minuta - 1 h 34 minuta.

Sastojci (za 4 male kesadilje):

• 4 male integralne tortilje (oko 20 cm
• 160 g pecene piletine ili kuvane piletine
• 120 g mocarele ili blage gaude* (vidi napomenu)
• 60 g šargarepe
• 60 g kukuruza šećerca
• 40 g crvene paprike
• 1 kašičica maslinovog ulja (za tiganj po potrebi)
• Krem sir (za ivice tortilje)

Priprema:

0. Nemojte prati pilece meso pre termicke obrade.

1. Piletinu iseckati na veoma sitne komadiće. Šargarepu oljustiti. Papriku ocistiti.

2. Sargarepu skuvati dok ne omekša, ohladiti i sitno iseckati.

3. Kukuruz skuvati.

4. Crvenu papriku iseći na sitne kockice.

5. Sir narendati.

6. Tortilju staviti na ravnu površinu. Na jednu polovinu tortilje rasporediti oko 20 g rendanog sira, ostavljajući oko 1–2 cm praznog ruba. Preko sira staviti oko 40 g piletine. Dodati malo šargarepe, kukuruza i paprike. Preko povrća staviti još oko 10 g sira.

7. Na samoj ivici tortilje, oko 1 cm od ivice, tanko namaži krem sir.

8. Praznu polovinu tortilje prebaciti preko nadeva, tako da se dobije oblik polumeseca. Blago pritisnuti prstima po ivicama tortilje da se tortilja zatvori 

Krem sir će spojiti dve strane.

9. Zagrejati tiganj na stednjoj temperaturi (4 od 6). Po potrebi dodati sasvim malo maslinovog ulja. 

10. Staviti preklopljenu kesadilju u tiganj i peći oko 2–3 minuta sa svake strane, dok tortilja blago ne porumeni, a sir se potpuno ne istopi.

11. Izvaditi i ostaviti 3–5 minuta da se prohladi.

12. Iseći svaku kesadilju na 4 trouglića.

Napomene:

• Za tanji sloj fila se mnogo bolje drži i lakše se jede.

Napomena za izbor sira

Mozete izabrati:

• Mocarelu – blaga je i lepo se topii
• Gaudu – blagog ukusa i lepo se topi.
• Blagi kačkavalj – ako želiš izraženiji ukus.

Za dečju kesadilju bih izabrala mocarelu ili blagu gaudu.

Saveti za kesadilje sa piletinom, sirom i povrćem:

1. Nadev rasporediti u tankom, ravnomernom sloju kako se kesadilja ne bi raspadala pri jelu.
2. Piletinu iseći veoma sitno, bez velikih komada koji bi otežali žvakanje.
3. Povrće takođe iseći na veoma sitne kockice.
4. Šargarepu dobro omekšati kuvanjem kako bi bila mekša i lakša za žvakanje.
5. Kukuruz koristiti kuvan i mekan; kod mlađe dece zrna se mogu dodatno usitniti.
6. Birati mocarelu ili blagu gaudu jer imaju blag ukus i dobro se tope.
7. Ne prepunjavati tortilju — manje nadeva znači da će se bolje zatvoriti i da će trouglići biti stabilniji.
8. Krem sir naneti vrlo tanko, samo uz ivicu, da posluži kao „lepak“.
9. Peći na srednjoj temperaturi, ne na jakoj, kako bi se sir istopio pre nego što tortilja previše porumeni.
10. Nakon pečenja ostaviti 3–5 minuta da se prohladi pre sečenja.
11. Za mlađu decu trougliće možeš iseći na manje komade ili ih ostaviti malo veće, u zavisnosti od toga kako dete lakše jede.
12. Ako dete nosi kesadilju u školu, potpuno je ohladiti pre pakovanja kako se ne bi stvarala kondenzacija i tortilja postala gnjecava.
13. Za školsku užinu može se spakovati u papirnu salvetu ili papir za pečenje, pa u kutiju za užinu.
14. Kod izbora piletine koristiti dobro termički obrađenu piletinu, bez kostiju i kože.
