Chicken and Avocado Quesadilla


I really need to get a new memory card for my camera. The cellphone camera just isn't cutting it..

Happy Cinqo de Mayo!

You will need:
Olive oil
Chicken tenders
1/2 an avocado
Mexican cheese - or any shreded cheese will do
Spices - salt, pepper, garlic, onion powder
Optional - guacamole, sour cream, jalepenos, salsa

Cook a few chicken tenders in a skillet on medium with some olive oil, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic and any other seasonings you'd like. 3-4 minutes on each side or until cooked. Let them cook a bit and cut into small pieces about the size of a penny.
Cut an avocado into small pieces. I usually cut it in half, take out the pit and slice it while it still has the skin on lengthwise then widthwise then you can pop the pieces out of the skin.

My skillet has the raised lines so you can make paninis...or quesadillas in it!

Brush one flour tortilla with olive oil and place oil side down in the skillet on medium.
Sprinkle the tortilla with chicken, avocado and mexican cheese. Brush another flour tortilla with olive oil and place oil side up. Once the bottom strarts turning a nice golden color, flip with a big spatula until the other side is golden.
Cut with a pizza cutter on a cutting board and serve with guac, sour cream, salsa or jalepenos.
