- Method: Frying
- Cuisine: Mexican
Ingredients
- 4 small flour tortillas
- 1 ripe avocado, peeled, pitted, and sliced
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a Mexican blend)
- Prepare the filling: Slice the ripe avocado and have the shredded cheese ready for assembling the quesadillas.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
