Avocado Quesadillas image

Avocados give quesadillas some nutritional value and, fortunately, my son likes them. Thinly slice the avocado, and add chicken or beef for extra protein. -Debbie Limas, North Andover, Massachusetts

CHEESY QUESADILLAS WITH AVOCADO

Cheesy Quesadillas with Avocado image

Brooke is a huge Mexican food fan. In fact, when Jack was one week old, Brooke had such a mean craving that we took him out to a Mexican spot near us. So it's no surprise that Jack has become a big fan, too. And since quesadillas are pretty much Mexican grilled cheese, we make them just to give him a little variety, and use them as an opportunity to get a little avocado (which is chock-full of vitamins and has more potassium than a banana) into his diet.

Yield serves 4 kids or 2 adults

Number Of Ingredients 3

Ingredients

Eight 6-inch flour tortillas
2 cups grated Monterey Jack cheese (8 ounces)
1 avocado, halved, peeled, pitted, and finely diced

Steps:

Sprinkle each of 4 tortillas with 1/4 cup of the Monterey Jack cheese. Top each with the avocado, then the remaining cheese. Cover with the 4 remaining tortillas.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the quesadillas, 1 at a time, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until the tortillas are golden and the cheese is melted. Serve warm.
If you've got a salsa fan like we do in Jack, you can offer a little mild salsa for dipping.

CHICKEN QUESADILLAS WITH AVOCADO-CUCUMBER SALSA

Chicken Quesadillas With Avocado-Cucumber Salsa image

There is one caveat when using leftover grilled meat. As the meat chills, the flavors recede, becoming quieter and mellower. For these quesadillas that I made out of Sunday's grilled chicken thighs, shredded and stuffed into a corn tortilla with a little cheese and quickly toasted, I stirred together a lime-zest-imbued cucumber and avocado salsa that added a welcome citrus edge.

Ingredients

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)
1/4 pound Monterey Jack cheese, grated (about a cup)
8 6-inch corn tortillas
Olive oil, for brushing

Steps:

In a bowl, mix together the avocado, cucumbers, red onion, cilantro, lime zest, lime juice, jalapeño, salt and pepper.
Sandwich some of the chicken and cheese between two tortillas; repeat with the remaining chicken, cheese and tortillas. Brush the top and bottom of each quesadilla lightly with oil.
Heat a large, nonstick skillet over high heat until very hot. Cook the quesadillas, in batches, if necessary, until the cheese melts and the tortillas are crisp and golden, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes per side.
Cut into wedges and top with some of the salsa.
