Chicken Quesadilla
August 14, 2024
“I can provide all the students with home-style meals and get them to taste all different kinds of foods and flavors.” – Esther Huizar, Cafeteria Manager, Oak Valley Union Elementary School District
One of the home-style meals that Oak Valley Union Elementary’s team of School Food Professionals cooks from scratch is a chicken quesadilla. Cafeteria Manager Esther Huizar and her team prepare the chicken with fresh ingredients like tomato, onions and garlic, and low-fat cheese. The key to making sure these quesadillas are nice and soft for students is warming the whole wheat tortillas before adding cheese and chicken for a final five minutes in the oven.
The best part about these chicken quesadillas? The students at Oak Valley Union Elementary love them. As Esther says, cooking fresh, healthy meals “makes a big difference.”
