Ingredients
- 1 large avocado
- 2 flour tortilla wraps large
- ¼ cup any cheese of your choice grated
- 1 jalapeno sliced
- ¼ cup corn
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mash the avocado and spread it on a tortilla wrap in an even layer all the way out to the edges.
- Sprinkle some cheese, corn, sliced jalapeno and season with salt and pepper.
- Top with a second tortilla.
On the stovetop:
- Heat a frying pan (no oil) on medium heat and transfer quesadilla to pan. Cook over medium heat until golden, carefully flip using a spatula and cook for a further 2-3 minutes.
In the oven:
- Prepare quesadilla(s) on a baking sheet. Bake in a pre-heated 350°F oven until top is golden brown (5-6 minutes), then flip. Bake another 5-6 minutes until the top tortilla is browned and crispy.
- Cut quesadilla into 8 equal triangles and serve.
Notes
Serve with sour cream or salsa for dipping.
Bonus fillings: The great thing about quesadillas is that you can add just about anything to the filling. Chop up leftover chicken, add diced onions or bell pepper, or add seasonings like cumin, garlic powder, chili powder, or paprika.
For a gluten-free quesadilla, use corn tortillas or almond flour tortillas.
