And we lean on the healthy avocado to lend it’s creaminess, so we don’t need as much cheese (or really any at all!) to get a perfect recipe for veggie quesadillas.

How to Make Avocado Quesadillas:

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat, spray with olive oil. 
  2. Add the tortilla to the hot pan, add 1 tablespoon of cheddar cheese to one side. Top with avocado, Pico de Gallo, and then the remaining cheese.
  3. Fold the empty side the the tortilla over the top and cook until the cheese starts to melt.
  4. Flip the quesadilla and cook until golden brown. The cheese will be melted and may spill out a bit… this is great!
  5. Move the veggie quesadilla to a plate, cut into 4 triangles and serve hot.
