    It’s no secret that Quesadillas are one of my go to lunches and this Chicken Avocado and Pesto Quesadilla is my current favourite!

    Chicken Avocado and Pesto Quesadilla Recipe

    After a short break (probably due to eating so many!) I’m back on the Quesadilla bandwagon.  Along with being the perfect easy lunch for me (they seriously take 10 minutes to prepare and cook) both of the older boys have decided that they are in love with these ‘special toasted sandwiches’ too and won’t stop requesting them – even to take to school!

    This Chicken Avocado and Pesto Quesadilla is a variation of my Chicken Cheese and Pesto Quesadilla that I couldn’t get enough of while I was pregnant and I’m sure our baby boy will love them too once he is old enough to give them a try 😉  As well as being an easy meal (or snack) to make, these can be eaten one handed (which is super important for me when juggling the three boys) and they are also quite filling thanks to the yummy chunks of avocado and chicken throughout which helps to stop me snacking on not so good foods for the rest of the day.

    I like to add both mozzarella and feta cheese to these quesadillas (after all who can resist the combination of cheese and avocado?!), however you can use any type of cheese you like when making these.  If you are feeling particularly organised, you can make these Chicken Avocado and Pesto Quesadillas a day ahead and just store them in the fridge until you are ready to eat them. I usually make a couple of these at a time so that they are ready for the boys whenever they are about to pass out from starvation – which happens all of the time according to them!
