Chicken And Avocado
Quesadillas
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 tablespoons lime juice
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
2 cups cooked, diced chicken
1 fully ripened Mexican Hass avocado, halved, pitted, peeled and cut in 1-inch cubes
4 flour tortillas (7 to 8 inches each)
1/4 cup shredded Jack or Pepper Jack cheese
Preheat oven to 450°F. In a medium bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of the oil, lime juice and cumin. Add chicken and avocado; toss gently. Lay tortillas on a baking sheet; brush both sides with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Spoon chicken and avocado mixture on one side of each tortilla, dividing evenly; top with cheese.
