Steps:
- Lay out 2 of the flour tortillas on a flat surface. Top with the cheeses, spreading evenly over the tortillas. Top with remaining tortillas and press to seal.
- Heat a large saute pan over high heat. Add enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan and lower the heat to medium. Cook until golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Repeat with the other quesadilla.
- Let cool for 5 minutes. Slice into 8 or 10 pieces. Serve with the Guacamole.
- 1 small ripe Haas avocado
- 1 tablespoon minced jalapeno pepper
- 2 tablespoons minced red onion
- 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro leaves
- 1/2 lime, juiced
- Salt
- Halve the avocado and remove the pit with a sharp knife. Discard the pit. Scoop the flesh into a small bowl and mash with a fork. Stir in the remaining ingredients, season with salt to taste, and set aside.

EASY QUESADILLAS WITH FRESH GUACAMOLE
I made this up last night for dinner (May 17, 2012) and it was a big hit. They cook up quickly and are excellent served with the guacamole, salsa, and sour cream. It gets even easier if you can find pre-made pico de gallo in your produce section. Also, leftover steak, pork, or ground beef can be used instead of chicken for variety. OPTIONS: 1- Make this vegetarian by leaving out the meat and doubling the beans. 2- I used whole grain tortillas in this. They were excellent.

Steps:
- Chop meat from chicken in small pieces, and season with garlic salt. Place in a microwave container and heat up just before using, about 1-1/2 minutes.
- In a 10-inch iron skillet, heat olive oil over medium high heat. Cut peppers into strips, and cook in the oil until they are a bit blackened, turning and stirring as necessary. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- Reduce heat in skillet to medium and wipe excess oil out with a paper towel. On a prep surface, lay out one tortilla. Place 1/4 of the peppers on half the tortilla. Add 1/4 of the chicken (heat it up first), 1/4 of the pico de gallo, 1/4 of the black beans (if using), and 1/2 cup of the cheese. Fold tortilla in half. Repeat with remaining 3 tortillas.
- Place folded tortilla in skillet and cook 3-4 minutes until very browned, then carefully turn over and cook the other side. The timing will depend on how hot your skillet is. You want the cheese to melt, but you don't want to burn the tortillas.
- Remove tortilla to serving plate and cut into fourths. Serve with fresh Guacamole. Tip: if your tortillas are 10 inches and so is your skillet, you can actually cook two quesadillas at once in the skillet.
- To make Guacamole: Peel and mash the avocados, adding salt and lime juice. Stir in 1/4 cup pico de gallo until blended.

- Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Warm your tortilla for about 30 seconds, flipping halfway. Flip once more, then sprinkle one-half of the tortilla with about half of the cheese. Cover the cheese evenly with the remaining fillings: beans, bell pepper, onion and jalapeño (if using).
- Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the fillings, and fold over the empty side of the tortilla to enclose the fillings. Quickly brush the top of the quesadilla with a light coating of oil, then carefully flip it with a spatula.
- Let the quesadilla cook until golden and crispy on the bottom, about 1 to 2 minutes, reducing the heat if necessary to prevent burning the tortilla. Brush the top with a light coating of oil, then flip it and cook until the second side is golden and crispy.
- Immediately remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the quesadilla to a cutting board. Let it cool for a minute to give the cheese time to set, then use a chef’s knife to slice it into 3 pieces. Serve promptly, with any sauces or garnishes that you’d like.
