Ingredients
Mini Chicken Quesadillas:
-
8 mini street taco flour tortillas
-
1 1/2 cups diced or shredded chicken
-
3/4 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
-
1-2 tbsp neutral oil (for frying)
For the Guacamole:
-
2 ripe avocados
-
2 garlic cloves, minced
-
1/4 tsp salt
-
2 tbsp chopped cilantro
-
1 tbsp lime juice
-
1 tbsp finely diced jalapeno pepper (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Guacamole: In a medium-sized bowl, mash the avocados and mix with minced garlic, salt, cilantro, lime juice, and optional jalapeno. Set aside.
- Assemble the Quesadillas: Shred or dice the chicken and shred the cheese. Spread a thin layer of guacamole on each tortilla. Add chicken and a couple tablespoons of shredded cheese to one side, then fold the tortilla in half.
- Cook the Quesadillas: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add oil. Once the oil is hot and sizzling, add the quesadillas. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cheese is melted. Flip carefully, adding more oil if needed.
- Serve: Serve warm with leftover guacamole, shredded lettuce, pico de gallo, salsa, or your favorite toppings.
