Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Ingredients

• 4 small flour tortillas
• 1 ripe avocado, peeled, pitted, and sliced
• 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a Mexican blend)

Instructions

1. Prepare the filling: Slice the ripe avocado and have the shredded cheese ready for assembling the quesadillas.
2. Assemble the quesadilla pockets: Place a small handful of shredded cheese on one half of each tortilla, add a few avocado slices on top, and then fold the tortilla over to create a half-moon shape, pressing gently to seal.
3. Cook until crispy: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place each quesadilla pocket in the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese has melted.
4. Serve: Remove from heat, let cool slightly, and enjoy your crispy, cheesy avocado quesadilla pockets immediately.

Notes

• Use ripe but firm avocados to prevent the quesadilla from becoming too soft.
• Feel free to add extras like diced tomatoes, onions, or jalapeños for more flavor.
• For a gluten-free option, use corn tortillas instead of flour tortillas.
• Cook on medium heat to avoid burning the tortilla before the cheese melts.
