Quesadilla Preparation Steps

  3. Add More Cheese and Top: Sprinkle remaining cheddar cheese over the mashed avocado. Place a second tortilla on top.
  4. Heat the Pan: Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat for about 2 minutes. Optionally, lightly spray with oil.
  5. Cook the Quesadilla: Transfer the quesadilla into the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  6. Slice and Serve: Remove from pan, let sit for a minute, then slice into wedges and serve with salsa, guacamole, or salad.
