In a pinch, they work extremely well with spiced-up leftover chicken from the previous night. I like to make a bigger batch of the filling on the weekend and use it to make these Quesadillas throughout the week. You can change up the meat or add in more veggies – anything you like, but the idea remains the same. When we first enrolled Little Dude at a play school, I was giddy with excitement over the opportunity to pack him a lunchbox every day. My head buzzed with a variety of healthy school lunch ideas of tiny portions of homemade gourmet meals, like this Chicken Tikka Quesadilla, all wrapped up and sent off with love. Alas, that was never to happen. As luck would have it, Little Dude went to a play school that prided itself in serving healthy, well-balanced meals to every student on a daily basis. And I couldn’t complain really since his lunches on most days were even better than what I was feeding myself at the time. Spinach Lasagna, anyone? Or maybe some Butter Chicken? How about Veggie Lo Mein with some Garlic Broccoli on the side? Needless to say, the meals provided at his playschool were mom-approved, and he seemed to enjoy them as well. But I couldn’t stop myself from imagining packing him a lunch every now and then, and I often challenged myself to come up with recipes that are quick and simple to whip up. Once it was time for him to start regular schooling, I felt well prepared and equipped with ideas that made his school lunches a lot more fun. Even so, like all moms dads, who pack their kids’ lunches on a daily basis, I do myself lost and confused a couple of mornings each week. Panning out what to send in a lunchbox can be a daunting task, and for that reason, I prefer always having a few shortcut options on hand.
