Ingredients

• 4 pieces Flour tortillas
• 200 grams Shredded cheddar cheese
• 150 grams Cooked chicken breast (optional, shredded)
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 2 pieces Avocados
• 1 piece Lime
• 1 piece Tomato (diced)
• 1 small piece Red onion (diced)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped)
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the guacamole: Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a medium-sized mixing bowl.

Step 2

Mash the avocados with a fork until slightly chunky or smooth, depending on preference.

Step 3

Add the diced tomato, diced red onion, chopped cilantro, juice of the lime, salt, and black pepper to the mashed avocado. Stir well to combine and set aside.

Step 4

Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 5

Spread a thin layer of butter on one side of a flour tortilla.

Step 6

Place the tortilla butter-side down into the hot skillet. Sprinkle 50 grams of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over one half of the tortilla. Add shredded chicken if desired.

Step 7

Fold the tortilla in half, covering the cheese and filling, and press down lightly with a spatula.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Repeat with the remaining tortillas, cheese, and optional chicken to make a total of 4 quesadillas.

Step 10

Slice each quesadilla into wedges and serve warm alongside the guacamole for dipping.
