We had a couple of friends over and I made these delicious and different quesadillas. I had to make two batches, one for the hotties and one for the milds. I increased the Tabasco to 1 t. and added chopped jalapeno pepper for the hotties. The original recipe was perfect for the milds. Monterey Jack cheese was a great choice. Thanks a bunch. -
This was very good and had people asking for the recipe. I cut it into small squares and used as an appetizer. The filling would also be good as a dip w/chips. Thanks. -
This is a perfect light meal...Very yummy! Like many ppl recommended I used olive oil and scallions. We found it a bit watery, but it could be because I didn't seed the tomatoes...I will next time. Will definitely make again. Thanks for sharing.

Nice way to use avocado. I used scallions instead of onions. Added corn, chipolte pepper, feta, taco seasoning and mozzarella since I did not have MJ cheese. I found the flavor was still lacking a little. Maybe I will use MJ next time... -
YUM!!! This is SO good! I made only a few changes. I halved the recipe, left out the Tabasco sauce and used fresh lime juice instead of lemon juice. What a great lunch. I might have to have a repeat tomorrow.... :) Thanks! -
I am not a big fan of avocado but I loved these. I skipped the coriander(personal taste) and used olive oil instead of vegetable oil. I had these for a brunch and they were perfect.
