Olé, Olé!

Ever since our salmon taco night a couple weeks ago I've been craving more.

More Mexican food.

More salsa.

More spicy deliciousness.

The other thing I love about cooking Mexican food...it can be pretty darn easy.

Take the quesadilla for example.

Too often people believe the quesadilla is nothing but a tortilla and some cheese.

Well, let me fill you in.

It can be so much more.

Stuffed and Grilled Quesadillas

What you need:

flour tortillas

grated extra sharp cheddar cheese

1 big heirloom tomato, chopped

1/2 red onion, diced

juice of 1 lime

1 jalapeno, deseeded and diced

1 avocado sliced

2 T cilantro, chopped

salt and pepper

Toppings:

guacamole

sour cream

the pico de gallo you prepared

What you'll need to do:

1. First make your pico de gallo. This will be used as a topping and as stuffing for your quesadillas. In a small bowl mix together your chopped onion, heirloom tomato, lime juice, jalapeno, cilantro, salt and pepper to taste.

2. Slice your avocado lengthwise.

3. Use two tortillas. Place one flat on a plate. Lay out the avocados, pico de gallo, and then top with grated cheese. Cover it up with a 2nd tortilla.

4. Place your quesadilla on the grill. When the cheese begins to melt flip it. This won't take very long...2-3 minutes on each side.

4. Enjoy! We served ours with the extra pico de gallo, fresh guacamole, sour cream, and some lime juice, plus some grilled corn on the cob.
