Make It: Avocado Quesadilla

Avocado Quesadilla

This is my grown-up version of the cheese quesadilla.  Doesn’t avocado just make everything better?  Simple to make and perfect for a quick lunch. 

Avocado Quesadilla
Ingredients: 
Tortillas (white, corn, whole wheat, low carb – pick your favorite kind)
Avocado (peeled and diced into cubes)
Asiago Cheese (shredded)
Jalapenos (I’m a wimp, so I purchase the no-heat jarred variety)

Avocado Quesadilla

I’m sure you don’t need too much instruction on how to make these, but take one tortilla and sprinkle cheese on 1/2, top with a few cubes of avocado and a few jalapenos, then fold the other end over.  Heat in a pan on medium heat for a minute until cheese starts to melt then flip over and squash down with a spatula for another minute or two until everything is nice and hot throughout.  I like my avocado really smashed, but that’s just me.

*Tip:  Asiago is a strong cheese, so it really only takes a little to get a good flavor.

  1. This looks so good! I dont know if i could restrain myself from eating the avocado long enough to cook it in the quesedilla. My sons favorite quesedilla is spinach and cheese!

  3. Yes, avocados make everything taste good! I'm drooling right now because I have to fast today for a "procedure" tomorrow. But tomorrow night's dinner might just have to include avocado quesadillas - these look so yummy!
