Ingredients:
4 (12-inch) flour tortillas |
1/2 cup grated cheddar |
1/4 cup grated mozzarella |
1/2 cup grated queso blanco |
olive oil |
guacamole, recipe follows |
Directions:
1. Lay out 2 of the flour tortillas on a flat surface. Top with the cheeses, spreading evenly over the tortillas. Top with remaining tortillas and press to seal.
2. Heat a large saute pan over high heat. Add enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan and lower the heat to medium. Cook until golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Repeat with the other quesadilla.
3. Let cool for 5 minutes. Slice into 8 or 10 pieces. Serve with the guacamole.
4. Guacamole:
5. 1 small ripe Haas avocado
6. 1 tablespoon minced jalapeno pepper
7. 2 tablespoons minced red onion
8. 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro leaves
9. 1/2 lime, juiced
10. Salt
11. Halve the avocado and remove the pit with a sharp knife. Discard the pit. Scoop the flesh into a small bowl and mash with a fork. Stir in the remaining ingredients, season with salt to taste, and set aside.
12. Yield: about 2/3 cup
