The passage into student life comes the saddening realisation that you may not be able to keep up the habit of treating yourself to a cappuccino every morning and indulging in overpriced trendy Mexican restaurants. So, if anyone else is interested and would like to make tasty, and healthy(-ish) food at home for literally under €7, you may enjoy this recipe for a homemade quesadilla. It’s a nice one that hits the spot when you’re craving a cheeky takeaway. It takes under twenty minutes to make and makes for great hangover food! There is little space to go wrong with this general formula but feel free to play around with ingredients and add/takeaway spices depending on how you feel. Hope you enjoy this as much as I do.
