Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with taco seasoning and olive oil. Grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from the grill and let rest.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Guacamole Salad

    In a bowl, mash the avocados. Add diced tomato, red onion, lime juice, cilantro, and salt. Mix well and set aside.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Quesadillas

    Slice the grilled chicken into strips. On one half of each tortilla, layer the grilled chicken and shredded cheese. Fold the tortilla over to create a half-moon shape.

  4. 4

    Cook the Quesadillas

    Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the 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 with remaining quesadillas.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Cut the quesadillas into wedges and serve with a side of cooked rice and guacamole salad.
