1 avocado, peeled, pitted and diced small
2 Kirby cucumbers, peeled and diced small
2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 1/2 teaspoons finely grated lime zest
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
1/2 jalapeño, seeded, if desired, and finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 pound cooked chicken, shredded (about 1 1/3 cups)

Steps:

  • 1. In a bowl, mix together the avocado, cucumbers, red onion, cilantro, lime zest, lime juice, jalapeño , salt and pepper. 2.

These quesadillas were a bit dry, but the salsa was amazing. I would make this again, but I would add more moisture to the chicken.

These quesadillas were okay. The chicken was a bit bland and the salsa was too spicy for my taste. I wouldn't make these again.
