This is another great school lunch box meal idea. My son has this thing about lunch box. When its a Sandwich, Roll or a Quesadilla, he completes his lunch. He likes the “hold in your hands factor” about the meal. Whenever I send him food that needs a spoon, 40% will come back home unfinished. He will have his own reasons for having not finished his lunch. I am sure I am not alone. So I am always looking for more ways to send healthy sandwiches to school. Doing the sandwich this way helps in keeping the stuffing intact and not spill while eating. Here is how you can put together a great Mushroom Quesadilla in no time.
There is essentially only 5 ingredients in the Mushroom stuffing excluding salt and pepper.
Heat oil in a pan and add in the chopped onions and the finely sliced mushrooms. Add in the salt, pepper and the Italian herb seasoning all at once. You can use any store bought dry herb seasoning mix. The mushrooms will reduce a lot in volume when cooked. Keep sauteing until the onions and mushrooms are cooked and the mixture is dry and light brown. It will take about 6-7 minutes in medium flame.
Add in a tablespoon of All purpose flour (Maida) and fry for a minute.
Add in the water and stir well for 15 seconds until it forms a thick mixture. Switch off the flame.
The mushroom filling is ready.
Putting together the sandwich
Take a cooked Chapati and place 2 tablespoons of the filling on one half of the chapati. Add cheese if you wish. Slightly wet the edges of the chapati with water. Fold the chapati like a half moon. Using a fork, press the corners to seal the chapati.
Heat a pan and place the chapati on the pan and cook for 30 seconds on each side sprinkling little oil.
Remove the chapati sandwich from the pan and let it cool slightly. Cut it into half.
