Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Tortilla Dough
To start your Guacamole Stuffed Quesadilla adventure, in a mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, and salt to create the tortilla base. Gradually add water to this mixture, stirring until it forms a soft and pliable dough that is easy to roll out. Once well combined, cover the dough and set it aside to rest while you prepare the guacamole filling.
Step 2: Prepare the Guacamole Filling
In another bowl, combine the following ingredients to create a refreshing guacamole:
- Avocado: Cut in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.
- Tomato: Remove the pulp and finely chop the remaining flesh.
- Onion: Finely chop.
- Red and Yellow Bell Peppers: Finely chop.
- Garlic: Mince the cloves.
- Green Chilies: Finely chop, adjusting the quantity based on your spice preference.
- Coriander Leaves: Finely chop and set aside.
- Lemon Juice: Squeeze half a lemon into the mixture.
- Salt: Add to taste.
Gently mash the avocado and mix all the ingredients thoroughly until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Step 3: Roll Out the Tortillas
Divide the rested dough into small equal-sized balls, approximately the size of a golf ball. On a lightly floured surface, roll each ball into a circle about 6 inches in diameter. Repeat this process with the remaining dough balls, ensuring you have enough tortillas for each quesadilla.
Step 4: Cook the Tortillas
Heat a flat skillet over medium heat and add a teaspoon of sunflower oil. Place one tortilla on the skillet and toast it lightly for about 1-2 minutes on each side until it becomes slightly golden. Remove the tortilla from the skillet and repeat with the remaining tortillas, adding more oil as needed.
Step 5: Assemble the Quesadilla
Once your tortillas are ready, it’s time to assemble the quesadillas. Take one toasted tortilla and spread 1 tablespoon of Del Monte mint mayo evenly over the surface. Next, add a generous portion of the prepared guacamole, spreading it out evenly. Carefully place another tortilla on top to create a sandwich.
Step 6: Toast the Quesadilla
Return the assembled quesadilla to the skillet, adding a tablespoon of unsalted butter to the skillet. Cook the quesadilla on medium heat, allowing it to toast for about 3-4 minutes on each side until it becomes crispy and golden brown. Ensure the filling is heated through and the tortillas are beautifully crisped.
Step 7: Serve
Once the quesadillas are perfectly toasted, remove them from the skillet and let them cool for a minute. Slice them lengthwise into wedges and arrange them on a serving platter. Serve your Guacamole Stuffed Quesadilla with a side of refreshing Corn Pineapple Salsa Salad for an extra burst of flavor. Enjoy as a delightful appetizer or a quick meal!
Indulge in the delightful combination of creamy guacamole, vibrant vegetables, and the refreshing zing of mint mayo, all encased in crispy homemade tortillas. This Guacamole Stuffed Quesadilla with Mint Mayo is sure to become a favorite in your household. Happy cooking!
