Flour or corn tortillas are filled with Manchego cheese, avocado chunks and jalapeno slices, then heated in a skillet and cut into wedges to make an easy snack.

  • Servings: 24 wedges
  • Prep Time: 15 minutes
  • Cook Time: 2 minutes

Ingredients:

4 Soft Flour or Corn Tortillas
4 oz Manchego Cheese, sliced
1 Avocado; Pitted, peeled and cut into chunks
16 Canned or Jarred Jalapeno Slices

Directions:

Set 1 tortilla on a work surface. Place about a quarter of the cheese on one half, not too near edge, so cheese will not melt out as it cooks. Top cheese with a quarter of the avocado and four jalapeno slices. Fold tortilla in half over filling to form a semicircle. Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat. Slide uncooked quesadilla onto the pan. Press down with a weight or just press briefly with a spatula. Cook 1 minute, then flip and grill 1 minute more or until cheese has melted. Transfer the quesadilla to a cutting board and slice into 6 wedges. Serve immediately. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
