Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Ripe avocados
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 piece Roma tomato, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Red onion, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 4 pieces Flour tortillas
- 2 cups Shredded Mexican blend cheese
- 2 tablespoons Butter or oil
- as needed Optional: Sour cream, for serving
Instructions
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a bowl.
Mash the avocado with a fork until smooth but still slightly chunky.
Add the lime juice, chopped cilantro, tomato, red onion, salt, and black pepper to the mashed avocado. Mix well to make the guacamole and set aside.
Lay out the flour tortillas on a flat surface. Spread about 2-3 tablespoons of guacamole evenly on one half of each tortilla.
Sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded cheese over the guacamole on each tortilla.
Fold the tortillas in half to cover the filling, creating a semi-circle shape.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of butter or oil.
Cook the quesadillas in the skillet, one or two at a time depending on the size of your pan, for 2-3 minutes per side or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Repeat with the remaining quesadillas, adding more butter or oil to the pan as needed.
Remove the quesadillas from the pan and let them cool slightly before slicing into wedges.
Serve warm with optional sour cream on the side for dipping.
