AVOCADO QUESADILLAS

CHICKEN QUESADILLAS WITH FRUIT SALSA AND AVOCADO CREAM



Chicken Quesadillas With Fruit Salsa and Avocado Cream image

From Cooking Light July 1998. Goes with recipe #398851 and recipe #398849. These are a quick quesadilla to throw together. All of my family enjoys these. I usually skip the fruit salsa and avocado cream unless I am serving them to guests. I prefer serving it with sliced avocado.

CHICKEN QUESADILLAS WITH AVOCADO-CUCUMBER SALSA



Chicken Quesadillas With Avocado-Cucumber Salsa image

There is one caveat when using leftover grilled meat. As the meat chills, the flavors recede, becoming quieter and mellower. For these quesadillas that I made out of Sunday's grilled chicken thighs, shredded and stuffed into a corn tortilla with a little cheese and quickly toasted, I stirred together a lime-zest-imbued cucumber and avocado salsa that added a welcome citrus edge.
