I hadn’t even thought about adding this on as a recipe until I realized that we made FOUR of these quesadillas just this week alone. This means 3 things to me_ 1) I’m pretty sure that kids will love them because Kenya hasn’t stopped asking for them, 2) for me to be so happy making them must mean they only take minutes to throw together and 3) they’re perfect for anyone on a budget because they’re made with some of the staples I always seem to have laying around the house. This recipe costs me just over $1.50 for 2 servings and there are never leftovers. I call that a recipe worth making again and again!
Avocado & Cheese Quesadilla

- Place a tortilla in a large saute pan over medium-high heat.
- Cover with half of the cheese and top with the avocado slices.
- Cover with remaining cheese and tortilla, slightly pressing down.
- Cook in the saute pan for 6 minutes total, turning halfway through.
- Cut into wedges.

great issues altogether, you just won a new reader. What might you suggest in regards to your put up that you made a few days in the past? Any sure?
OMG! What a great idea, yet so simple – avocado and cheese – the whole family can eat it!
Thanks so much for this website. It has really inspired me to try to get healthy food on the table for my 2 year old twins. Just wondering, what brand tortillas do you buy? The ones in my local grocery store all have a million ingredients that I don’t understand (and some that I do understand, including high fructose corn syrup). I’m hoping for a store bought brand that is ok.
