Mini Chicken Quesadilla Bento Box ingredients

Quesadillas

  • 2 flour tortillas
  • 1 cup cooked chicken, chopped
  • 1/2 tsp paprika + pinch of cumin
  • 1/2 cup mixed shredded cheese

To pack

  • Tortilla chips
  • Small cup of salsa
  • Watermelon cubes

Method

  1. 1

    Toss the chopped chicken with paprika and cumin, then layer with cheese between the tortillas.

  2. 2

    Toast in a dry pan until golden and melty, then cut into triangles.

  3. 3

    Pack the quesadilla triangles in the bento box with tortilla chips, a cup of salsa and watermelon cubes.

  4. 4

    Cool fully before closing the lid, and keep chilled.

Tips

  • Press the quesadilla with a spatula while toasting for even, crispy golden spots.
  • Pack the salsa in a separate sealed cup so the chips stay crunchy in the box.
  • Pat the watermelon cubes dry so they don't leak into the other compartments.
