Directions

Step 1

Peel and pit the avocados, then mash them in a medium-sized bowl until smooth but slightly chunky.

Step 2

Mix in lime juice, salt, garlic powder, chopped cilantro, and diced tomato to create guacamole. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.

Place one tortilla on the skillet. Spread about 2 tablespoons of the prepared guacamole on one half of the tortilla.

Step 5

Sprinkle 1/4 cup of shredded cheese evenly on top of the guacamole.

Step 6

Fold the tortilla in half to cover the filling and gently press down with a spatula.

Step 7

Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Step 8

Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and repeat the process with the remaining tortillas, guacamole, and cheese.

Step 9

Cut each quesadilla into wedges and serve immediately. Optionally, serve with salsa, sour cream, or extra guacamole on the side.
