Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Flour tortillas
- 2 pieces Ripe avocados
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Chopped cilantro
- 0.5 cup Diced tomato
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
- 2 tablespoons Butter or oil
Instructions
Peel and pit the avocados, then mash them in a medium-sized bowl until smooth but slightly chunky.
Mix in lime juice, salt, garlic powder, chopped cilantro, and diced tomato to create guacamole. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
Place one tortilla on the skillet. Spread about 2 tablespoons of the prepared guacamole on one half of the tortilla.
Sprinkle 1/4 cup of shredded cheese evenly on top of the guacamole.
Fold the tortilla in half to cover the filling and gently press down with a spatula.
Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and repeat the process with the remaining tortillas, guacamole, and cheese.
Cut each quesadilla into wedges and serve immediately. Optionally, serve with salsa, sour cream, or extra guacamole on the side.
