Chicken and Avocado Quesadillas

ingredients

  • 2 (10 inch) tortillas (corn tortillas for gluten-free)
  • 1 cup montery jack cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup cooked chicken, sliced or shredded
  • 1/2 avocado, sliced
  • 1/4 cup salsa verde
  • 1 tablespoon cilantro, chopped

directions

  1. Heat a pan over medium heat, place one tortilla in the pan, sprinkle half of the cheese followed by the chicken, avocado, salsa verde, cilantro, the remaining cheese and remaining tortilla.
  2. Cook until the quesadilla is golden brown on both sides and the cheese is melted, about 2-4 minutes per side.

Option: Use your favourite cheese such as cheddar, mozzarella, gruyere, etc.
Option: Use your favourite salsa!
Option: Top with extra salsa, sour cream, cheese, etc!
Option: For a single serving, cut the ingredients by half and instead of sprinkling the filling over the entire tortilla, sprinkle it over half and then fold the empty half of the tortilla over the filling on the other side!
Tip: To easily flip the tortilla, place a large plate onto the tortilla in the pan, hold the plate, flip the skillet so that the tortilla is now on the plate and then slide the tortilla back into the skillet (the uncooked side will now be on the bottom)!
