Guacamole Quesadillas

Recipe #295975 | 20 min | 10 min prep | 5 quesadillas (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: mamabear22

I was looking for something fun and easy on "Movie Night" and threw this together with really yummy results. Add a salad and/or rice and you've got a meal. Note: Measurements are not exact--I just "eyeballed" the whole thing.

    These are excellent! My whole family loved them! Even my picky eater who didn't want a quesadilla for dinner ate the whole thing and now loves quesadillas! I had never thought about putting guacamole inside and mixing it with the other ingredients. Great idea! Thanks so much.....

    I have never had guacamole inside a quesadilla before and I love it that way! We liked the addition of black beans too. I used 1 tsp each of cumin, ancho chili powder and black pepper and a jalapeno monteray jack cheese. I'm not much good at flipping these puppies so found it easier to make on half the tortilla and just folding it in half. Half a one was very filling.
