- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or your preference)
Instructions
Instructions
- Prepare the filling: Slice the ripe avocado evenly and set aside. Grate your choice of cheese if not pre-shredded.
- Assemble the quesadilla pockets: Place one tortilla on a flat surface. Arrange a few slices of avocado on one half, then sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheese over the avocado.
- Fold the tortillas: Fold the tortilla in half over the filling, pressing gently to seal the edges.
- Grill the pockets: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the folded quesadilla pockets on the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese is melted inside.
- Serve warm: Remove from heat, let cool slightly, then cut in half if desired and serve immediately for best taste and texture.
Notes
Notes
- You can add spices like cumin or chili powder for extra flavor.
- Use whole wheat tortillas for a healthier option.
- Make sure the skillet is not too hot to avoid burning the tortillas before the cheese melts.
- Serve with salsa, sour cream, or guacamole for complementing dips.
