Ingredients

2 avocados, peeled, pitted and chopped
2 lemons, juiced
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1/4 cup chopped red onions
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Dash hot pepper sauce
8 large flour tortillas
1 cup grated Monterey Jack Jalapeno
1 cup grated Cheddar
1 small can chopped green chiles
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Directions

In a mixing bowl, add the avocados. Using a fork, slightly mash the avocados. Add the lemon juice, garlic, and red onions. Mix thoroughly. Season the mixture with salt, pepper and hot sauce. Sprinkle 1/4 of each cheese over the top of four individual tortillas. Top the tortillas with the remaining four tortillas. In a saute pan, heat 1 teaspoon of the oil. When the oil is hot, gently lay a quesadilla in the hot oil and pan-fry for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove the quesadilla from the pan and repeat the cooking process for the remaining quesadillas. Serve the quesadillas with the guacamole.

Somethings missing!
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I have not yet used the recipe because the green chilies were not used in the directions. Do they go in the tortillas? Or in... the guacamole?Read more

Not bad.

This dish was fairly good. Not something we plan to make again--we like a lot of variety, but it was pretty tasty.

Average/Pretty good....
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

These tasted just about like any quesadillas you'd have or make at home. I didn't follow the recipe entirely which may be... why I wasn't super excited with what I came out with. The avacado's weren't ripe when I used them, so that came out differently, and I didn't have the monterey jack cheese, so I used mozzerella w/ cheddar... but either way it came out fine. I would definately make these for an appitizer if we had company or at a party.Read more

Simple and easy

The guacamole was fantastic - I used a little less lemon and it was perfect - never turned brown. I added chopped chicken to... the quesadillas and they were good. The guacamole was the hit - real superb.Read more
