Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 to 8 hors d'oeuvre servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

Four 12-inch flour tortillas
1/2 cup grated Cheddar
1/4 cup grated mozzarella
1/2 cup grated queso blanco
Olive oil
Guacamole, recipe follows

Steps:

  • Lay out 2 of the flour tortillas on a flat surface. Top with the cheeses, spreading evenly over the tortillas. Top with remaining tortillas and press to seal.
  • Heat a large saute pan over high heat. Add enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan and lower the heat to medium. Cook until golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Repeat with the other quesadilla.
  • Let cool for 5 minutes. Slice into 8 or 10 pieces. Serve with the Guacamole.
  • 1 small ripe Haas avocado
  • 1 tablespoon minced jalapeno pepper
  • 2 tablespoons minced red onion
  • 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro leaves
  • 1/2 lime, juiced
  • Salt
  • Halve the avocado and remove the pit with a sharp knife. Discard the pit. Scoop the flesh into a small bowl and mash with a fork. Stir in the remaining ingredients, season with salt to taste, and set aside.

I had some leftover chicken, so I added it to the quesadillas. It was a great way to use up leftovers and the chicken added a nice flavor.

These cheese quesadillas were a hit with my family! The guacamole was the perfect complement to the gooey cheese and crispy tortillas. I'll definitely be making these again.
