Chicken and cheese quesadilla with mango and avocado – a combination of four favorite ingredients that really just can’t go wrong! For this recipe I’ve used a rye tortilla to make it a bit more healthy and to get more of those great fibres. In Denmark, you can get almost any kind of flour product in a rye version including tortillas, but if you’re not able to get a hold of the rye tortillas, just go for another whole grain version.
Chicken and cheese quesadilla in less than 30 minutes
The great thing about these whole grain tortillas is that you can have a healthy and satisfying meal in less than 30 minutes, or maybe even shorter depending on your type of filling. On busy days my meal often consists of a warm and crispy quesadilla like this chicken and cheese quesadilla or sometimes just a tortilla pizza with “whatever’s in the fridge”. Oh yes and of course another favorite of mine, crispy rye tortilla with different dips like hummus, guacamole or homemade salsa. Yum!
