Avocados give quesadillas some nutritional value and, fortunately, my son likes them. Thinly slice the avocado, and add chicken or beef for extra protein. —Debbie Limas, North Andover, Massachusetts

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 16 corn tortillas (6 inches)
  • 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
  • 1 cup pico de gallo
  • 1 large ripe avocado, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 3 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
  • Additional pico de gallo

Directions

  1. Grease a griddle with oil; heat over medium heat. Lightly sprinkle tortillas with water to moisten.
  2. Place 8 tortillas on griddle; sprinkle with cheese. After cheese has melted slightly, top with 1 cup pico de gallo, avocado and cilantro. Top with remaining tortillas.
  3. Cook until tortillas are lightly browned and cheese is melted, 3-4 minutes on each side. Serve with additional pico de gallo.
