Best Grilled Avocado Quesadillas Recipes
GRILLED AVOCADO QUESADILLAS
I have been making this recipe at the cottage for numerous years now. (I was given it by a "summer neighbour"). It makes a nice light meal with a tossed salad and I love that it can be made up to four hours ahead of time and there is no fussing with people having to tailor their own.

AVOCADO QUESADILLAS
Avocados give quesadillas some nutritional value and, fortunately, my son likes them. Thinly slice the avocado, and add chicken or beef for extra protein. -Debbie Limas, North Andover, Massachusetts

CHEESY QUESADILLAS WITH AVOCADO
Brooke is a huge Mexican food fan. In fact, when Jack was one week old, Brooke had such a mean craving that we took him out to a Mexican spot near us. So it's no surprise that Jack has become a big fan, too. And since quesadillas are pretty much Mexican grilled cheese, we make them just to give him a little variety, and use them as an opportunity to get a little avocado (which is chock-full of vitamins and has more potassium than a banana) into his diet.

Steps:
- Sprinkle each of 4 tortillas with 1/4 cup of the Monterey Jack cheese. Top each with the avocado, then the remaining cheese. Cover with the 4 remaining tortillas.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the quesadillas, 1 at a time, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until the tortillas are golden and the cheese is melted. Serve warm.
- If you've got a salsa fan like we do in Jack, you can offer a little mild salsa for dipping.
