Quesadillas with Quacamole & Fresh Tomato Salsa



This Tex-Mex dish is quick to prepare and makes a nice snack or meal. The dips are also great with tortilla chips or any Tex-Mex food, such as burritos or fajitas.

Quesadilla filling: (makes 3-4)

cheese (grated)
half a small red onion (chopped)
tomato (peeled, de-seeded and diced)
bunch of fresh coriander (coarsely chopped)
fresh chili (finely chopped)

tortilla bread (2 for each quesadilla)

- Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl.
- Heat a dry frying pan on a medium to medium high heat until hot, add a tortilla and cover with the filling. Then add the second on top to form a 'sandwich' and press it down to help the cheese stick the two pieces together. Continue cooking until the tortilla is slightly browned, then turn over and fry the other side.

Quacamole:

2 ripe avocados (peeled and mashed)
1-2 tomatoes (peeled, de-seeded and diced)
half a small red onion (finely chopped)
a small clove of garlic (crushed)
lime juice
salt
pepper
(fresh coriander)

- Mix all the ingredients together. You can keep the avocado stone in the dip until it's served as it prevents the quacamole from turning brown.

Fresh Tomato Salsa:

4-6 tomatoes (peeled, de-seeded and chopped)
1/4 cucumber (de-seeded and chopped)
half a small red onion (finely chopped)
fresh chili (finely chopped)
fresh coriander (chopped)
salt
pepper
lime juice

- Mix all the ingredients together and serve soon after making it as it gets wet quickly.

  1. Mää oon välill lisänny quacamoleeni myös vähän kermaviiliä. Sopii hyvin sekin! Jotenkin pehmeempi maku.

  2. Muistinkin, että puhuit kerpparilisäyksestä joskus aiemmin. Mää tykkään kovin tuosta perusversiosta. Onkohan tuo alunperin sulta tuo quacamole-ohje? Ainakin varmaan eka kerran elämässäni söin quacamolea sun tekemänä, siihen kaikki siis perustuu :) Kerppariaki me tarjosimme tällä aterialla, tosin erikseen. Se on vilahtaa hieman kuvassa taka-alalla. :)
