Method

Quesadilla

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Gather all the ingredients for the quesadillas including tortillas, shredded cheese, olive oil, and salt.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Quesadilla

    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Brush one side of a tortilla with olive oil and place it in the skillet, oil side down. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded cheese evenly over the tortilla.

  3. 3

    Cook the Quesadilla

    Place another tortilla on top, oil side up. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the bottom tortilla is golden brown. Carefully flip the quesadilla and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the other side is golden and the cheese is melted.

  4. 4

    Slice and Serve

    Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it cool for a minute. Cut into wedges and sprinkle with a pinch of salt before serving.

Guacamole

  1. 5

    Prepare the Avocados

    Cut the ripe avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.

  2. 6

    Mash the Avocados

    Using a fork or a potato masher, mash the avocados until you reach your desired texture (chunky or smooth).

  3. 7

    Mix in Other Ingredients

    Add lime juice, diced onion, chopped cilantro, and salt to the mashed avocados. If desired, add diced tomato for extra flavor and color.

  4. 8

    Taste and Adjust

    Taste the guacamole and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or lime juice to taste.

  5. 9

    Serve

    Transfer the guacamole to a serving bowl and serve immediately alongside the quesadilla.
