AVOCADO QUESADILLAS
Avocados give quesadillas some nutritional value and, fortunately, my son likes them. Thinly slice the avocado, and add chicken or beef for extra protein. -Debbie Limas, North Andover, Massachusetts

CHICKEN QUESADILLAS WITH AVOCADO-CUCUMBER SALSA
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.

Steps:
- In a bowl, mix together the avocado, cucumbers, red onion, cilantro, lime zest, lime juice, jalapeño, salt and pepper.
- Sandwich some of the chicken and cheese between two tortillas; repeat with the remaining chicken, cheese and tortillas. Brush the top and bottom of each quesadilla lightly with oil.
- Heat a large, nonstick skillet over high heat until very hot. Cook the quesadillas, in batches, if necessary, until the cheese melts and the tortillas are crisp and golden, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes per side.

HUMMUS-AVOCADO QUESADILLAS
These quesadillas came about largely because of school lunch. I wanted my daughter to be able to take something to school that would be filling, packed with protein, keep its texture and taste just as good at room temperature as it did hot. The nutty hummus plays perfectly with the creamy avocado and stretchy cheese. Feel free to add in tomatoes and onions, throw in some extra smoked paprika or serve with a side of salsa. These are a great canvas to tailor to your own taste!

Steps:
- Lay out the tortillas on a cutting board and spread each tortilla with 3 tablespoons hummus. Slice each avocado halve in its skin and use a spoon to scoop out the avocado slices. Fan out the slices on 3 of the tortillas (you will use one avocado halve per quesadilla).
- Sprinkle the cheese on top of the avocado slices. Top with the remaining 3 tortillas, hummus-side down.
- Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a medium skillet or on a nonstick griddle over medium-low heat. Add 1 quesadilla and cook until the cheese starts to melt and the bottom is golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip, season with salt and cook until the cheese melts and the tortilla crisps up a bit, 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat with the remaining butter and quesadillas, wiping the skillet or griddle in between if any butter burns.
- Cut each quesadilla into 6 to 8 wedges and serve.
- Add the chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic and 3/4 teaspoon salt to a blender and blend until combined. With the blender on, slowly drizzle in ice water until the mixture becomes uniform, smooth and creamy. Transfer to a bowl, sprinkle with smoked paprika and drizzle with olive oil.
