Shrimp & Green Chili Quesadillas with Guacamole
Prep Time: 15
Cook Time: 8
Serves: Serves: 4 as main dish or makes 1 dozen appetizers
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp. vegetable oil, divided
- 8 (7 to 8-inch) flour tortillas
- 1-3/4 cups (7 oz.) Sargento® Bistro® Blends Shredded Nacho & Taco Cheese or Sargento® ChefStyle Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese
- 1 cup (8 oz.) small or coarsely chopped cooked shrimp*
- 1 can (4 oz.) chopped green chilies, drained
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro or thinly sliced green onions
- 1 ripe avocado, peeled, pitted
- 2 Tbsp. salsa
- 1/4 tsp. garlic salt
Directions
Brush 1 tablespoon oil over 4 of the tortillas. Place oiled sides down on cookie sheet. Combine cheese, shrimp, green chilies and cilantro; spoon evenly over tortillas, spreading to edges. Top with remaining tortillas, pressing down to compact filling. Brush remaining 1 tablespoon oil over tops of tortillas.
Bake in a preheated 450°F oven for 6 minutes or until golden brown on bottom. Use a large spatula to turn quesadillas over. Continue baking until tops are golden brown, about 2 minutes longer.
While quesadillas are baking, prepare guacamole by mashing avocado with salsa and garlic salt. Cut quesadillas into quarters; serve with guacamole and, if desired, additional salsa.
