I came up with some fun Monster University snacks and crafts. We also watched the movie Monsters University, which is a great movie for the whole family, as it not only kept the kids entertained but also had us adults laughing along.

Ingredients for Monster University Mike quesadillas

To make the Monsters University Mike quesadillas, I used spinach wheat tortillas. Not only did they provide the green color for our favorite Monsters Inc. monster, but they are also more nutritious.

No Ratings

Ingredients

  • 8 spinach wheat tortillas
  • 1 cup of shredded cheese, I used fiesta blend
  • 1/4 cup cooked chicken, shredded
  • 2 tablespoons of tomatillo sauce
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 16 black olives

Instructions

  1. Fill the tortillas with shredded cheese, you can also add some shredded chicken and just a little bit of tomatillo sauce (make sure it's not hot as some of the bottled tomatillo sauces are a little bit spicy) to add some flavor.

  2. Spray a pan with no stick spray and heat on medium heat.

  3. Place the quesadillas on the pan for a minute or two until they are just a bit crunchy and cheese has melted.

  4. Turn around once and heat for another minute or two.

  5. Remove the quesadillas from the pan and let stand for a few minutes so they are not too hot.

  6. Using a pair of kitchen scissors cut up the quesadillas into egg shaped Mike heads, then cut two small triangles for the ears and if you want to you can also cut legs and arms.

  7. With some sour cream make an eye in the center of the mister heads and place half of a black olive in the center.

  8. Cut a few black olives in into thin slices and use the slices to form the smiling mouth

  2. How adorable! And what a dedicated mom you must be to do all that detailed work. I’m not too skilled in the kitchen, but these are really, really cute, and my boyfriend adores that movie. Muchas gracias for the cool idea, one among the many on your awesome blog.

  3. I really like how this Quesadilla meal was presented. I just know kids would all love to have a party with this theme. I understand fussy eaters and how it can be difficult to please them while offering balanced nutrition. Looks like you’ve accomplished both these important factors into style.
