Cheesy Quesadillas with Avocado image

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.

Yield serves 4 kids or 2 adults

Number Of Ingredients 3

Eight 6-inch flour tortillas
2 cups grated Monterey Jack cheese (8 ounces)
1 avocado, halved, peeled, pitted, and finely diced

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.
