Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Flour tortillas
- 200 grams Shredded cheddar cheese
- 150 grams Cooked chicken breast (optional, shredded)
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 pieces Avocados
- 1 piece Lime
- 1 piece Tomato (diced)
- 1 small piece Red onion (diced)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Prepare the guacamole: Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Mash the avocados with a fork until slightly chunky or smooth, depending on preference.
Add the diced tomato, diced red onion, chopped cilantro, juice of the lime, salt, and black pepper to the mashed avocado. Stir well to combine and set aside.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Spread a thin layer of butter on one side of a flour tortilla.
Place the tortilla butter-side down into the hot skillet. Sprinkle 50 grams of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over one half of the tortilla. Add shredded chicken if desired.
Fold the tortilla in half, covering the cheese and filling, and press down lightly with a spatula.
Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
Repeat with the remaining tortillas, cheese, and optional chicken to make a total of 4 quesadillas.
Slice each quesadilla into wedges and serve warm alongside the guacamole for dipping.
