INSTRUCTIONS
Trim green onions of roots and all but 2" of green, then slice very thinly. Place half of tortillas on work surface and sprinkle each with 1/2 oz cheese, making sure it is evenly distributed over the tortilla surface. Scatter 1/4 c shredded turkey over each tortilla, then sprinkle each evenly with mushrooms, red bell pepper, green onions, and parsley. Divide remaining cheese among the tortillas, covering each with 1/2 oz cheese. Top each with 1 remaining tortilla, creating a sandwich. Press down on tortillas with the palm of your hand. Make Avocado Cream: peel and seed avocado, then cut into large pieces. Process ingredients in food processor until completely smooth. Scrape into bowl; salt to taste and serve. Makes 1/4 c per serving. Heat dry nonstick skillet over medium heat until very hot. Using large spatula, place a quesadilla in skillet. Pressing down with spatula, cook until cheese melts and tortilla browns slightly, about 2-3 minutes per side; remove from skillet. Repeat process with remaining quesadillas. Cut each quesadilla into quarters and serve immediately, garnished with quartered limes, cilantro sprigs, and a dollop of Avocado Cream. There's barely any cooking needed for these quesadillas once the ingredients are placed between the tortillas. All it takes is a quick saute in a dry skillet to finish up this delicious dish. My refined Avocado Cream on top is a lovely contrast to the crispy tortillas. If desired, serve a bowl of your favorite salsa alongside. =============== Reply 40 of Note 1 ================= Board: FOOD BB Topic: FOOD SOFTWARE Subject: Z-MM AVOCADOS 40+ To: BGMB90B ELAINE RADIS Date: 10/14 From: BGMB90B ELAINE RADIS Time: 11:43 AM Recipe By : From: Cuponquen@aol.Com Date: Sun, 12 Nov 1995 21:45:56 -0500 File ftp://ftp.idiscover.co.uk/pub/food/mealmaster/recipes/mmdja006.zip
