Before you start looking at the ingredients and start judging, you have to trust me on this one! It’s a very strange combo but for whatever reason it works and it’s become one of our quick and favorite dinners!
I have included two recipes in this post. The second, avocado cream, we make quite often. It’s a simplified version of guacamole but it’s more of a creamier smooth topping. We have avocado cream with all of our mexican meals or as a snack with just tortilla chips. If you’re not daring enough to try the quesadilla, at least give the avocado cream a try!
To give it a little more heat, add Frank’s Red Hot Sauce (as Alex always does). Enjoy!
