Chicken & Avocado Quesadilla

DSC02360My bank colleague, Catherine Fobes, kindly brought me back some homemade corn tortillas from her trip to Texas recently…yummmm the flavor is so distinctive when made with lard.  Because I had some leftover fried chicken and ripe avocados, I decided to create a hot quesadilla using monterey jack cheese melted with thinly sliced or shredded chicken and slices of buttery ripe avocado.  The flavor of the fresh, homemade corn tortillas made this tex-mex grilled quesadilla a crispy, mouth-watering change to your usual grilled cheese sandwich!!!  And quick too!

Thank you Catherine for hand carrying these delish homemade corn tortillas all the way back to Boston!
