Kids Pizza Quesadillas Recipe
Ingredients:
- 4 kids sized wholegrain wraps
- ~ 4 tbsp. marinara or tomato-based pasta sauce

Method:
- Use the wholegrain wrap as your base.
- Using the back of a spoon in a circular motion, spread 1-2 tbsp of the tomato-based sauce onto your wrap. You can use less sauce if you prefer but be careful not to add too much or it will spill out while cooking.
- Sprinkle on half of the grated cheese.
- Add the filling of your choice – get as creative as you like!
- Place the second wrap on top and press gently to keep the pizzadilla together
- Add a teaspoon of olive oil to a frying pan and fry the quesadilla for 2-3 minutes each side until it begins to turn golden brown.
