Ingredients
Quick Guacamole
- 1 avocado ripe
- 1 medium tomatoes or 2 cocktail tomatoes, diced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- salt and pepper to taste
Quesadillas
- 12 ounces smoked salmon thinly sliced, or broken into small pieces
- 2 cups mixed cheese mozzarella, smoked cheese and cheddar
- 6 medium flour tortillas 8-inch
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
To Serve
- salsa optional
- sour cream optional
- Lime wedges
Instructions
- Prep the oven. Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- Make the guacamole. In a small size bowl, add the avocados and lightly mash. Add the chopped tomatoes, lemon juice salt and pepper. Gently mix until combined. Set aside.
- Assemble quesadillas. Place a tortilla on your work surface and top with 2 to 3 tablespoons of cheese over half of the tortilla. Continue placing 1 to 2 ounces smoked salmon, 1 to 2 tablespoons of guacamole and a little bit more cheese. Fold in half and press down gently. Repeat with remaining ingredients. You should end up with about 6 quesadillas. Brush these with some melted butter, if you prefer, to help them get nice and golden brown in the oven as they bake.
- Bake the quesadillas. Place the quesadillas on a baking sheet, then transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven. Bake for about 8 to 10 minutes, turning them over halfway through, if necessary. In my oven, they crisped up on the bottom as well, so it wasn't necessary to flip them over.
- Finish and serve. Remove the quesadillas from the oven, cut them in half, if preferred, and serve with sour cream, salsa, lemon/lime wedges, or your favorite toppings.

Notes
- Make sure to watch your quesadilla in the oven, you don’t want the outsides to burn, you just want them nicely browned!
- Use soft taco size flour tortillas as they are easiest to work with and the perfect size for a quesadilla.
- Don't like salmon? No problem! Feel free to choose a different protein, such as chicken, beef or even tofu for a vegetarian version.
