Instructions

  1. Prepare the avocado salsa by tossing all ingredients in a bowl. Taste and adjust for heat and salt, then chill until quesadillas are cooked.
  2. Prepare the quesadilla. Toss the chicken with the tomato salsa to coat evenly. Split the mixture in half, dividing evenly between two tortillas. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese on top of the chicken mixture on each tortilla, then fold each tortilla in half.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium heat with oil. Once hot, place the stuffed tortillas on skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on one side until brown, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes, until brown and crispy on the bottom. Remove from heat and put the quesadillas on a cutting board. Let cool for one minute, then cut each one into three slices.
  4. Evenly distribute the avocado salsa between 2 small, individual bowls and serve each bowl with 3 quesadilla slices.
