A quesadilla is a flour tortilla folded in half over a savory filling and fried to a golden brown. This version is hearty enough to be served as a quick weeknight meal, as well as a snack or "game-day" treat when everyone is gathered around the TV watching his or her favorite sports event.
1 ripe avocado, pitted, peeled
4 ounces cream cheese or 1/3-less-fat cream cheese (Neufachatel), softened
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup julienne-cut oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, drained
1 (4 1/2-ounce) can chopped green chilies, drained
4 ounces (1 cup) shredded hot pepper Monterey Jack cheese or Monterey Jack Cheese
8 (11 1/2-ounce) packages flour tortillas for burritos
8 slices (1 1/2-oz slices) smoked turkey breast
4 ounces (1 cup) shredded Cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
4 ripe olives slices, if desired
Mash avocado in medium bowl. Add cream cheese, cumin, garlic powder, salt and pepper; blend well. Stir in tomatoes and chiles.
Sprinkle 3/4 cup of the Monterey Jack cheese on 4 of the tortillas. Top each with turkey slice. Spread avocado mixture over turkey. Top with remaining turkey slices. Sprinkle with 3/4 cup of the Cheddar cheese. Top with remaining tortillas.
Melt 1/2 tablespoon of the butter in 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add 1 quesadilla; cook 2 to 4 minutes or until golden brown, turning once. Repeat with remaining butter and quesadillas. Garnish with remaining Monterey Jack and Cheddar cheese. Top each quesadilla with olive slice.
