Sour Cream

Method

Prepare Pico de Gallo

  1. 1

    Mix Ingredients

    In a medium bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, red onion, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Stir well and set aside to let the flavors meld.

Prepare Guacamole

  1. 2

    Mash Avocado

    In a small bowl, mash the avocado with a fork until smooth. Add lime juice, salt, and garlic powder, and mix until well combined.

Assemble Quesadilla

  1. 3

    Layer Ingredients

    On one half of a tortilla, layer 1/2 cup of shredded chicken or pork carnitas, followed by 1/2 cup of shredded cheese. Fold the tortilla in half to cover the filling.

    Cook Quesadilla

    In a skillet over medium heat, add a little oil. Place the folded quesadilla in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

    Repeat the layering and cooking process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
