Grilled Avocado Quesadillas

Grilled Avocado Quesadillas




Shredded chicken (optional)

1 can black beans
1 (6oz.) can sliced black olives, drained
3 firm-ripe avocado, halved, pitted, peeled and diced
1/2 red bell pepper, finely chopped (or 2 baby bell peppers)
1/3 cup fresh chopped cilantro
2 tbsp red onion, finely chopped
Juice of 1 lime
Kosher salt to taste
Black pepper
4 large flour tortillas (I like starting with uncooked tortillas)
cheddar cheese (or Monterey Jack), shredded

Chop all of the vegetables. Stir together olives, avocado, bell pepper, jalapeno, cilantro, onion and lime juice. Season with sea salt and pepper to taste.


Place tortillas in the broiler until the begin to get brown and crispy on one side. Then remove the tortilla and place cheese on the tortilla and brown the other side. Remove from oven and top with the shredded chicken and divide avocado mixture among the tortillas, cut each tortilla into 4 wedges and serve immediately.

These can also be cooked on the grill.
