- 1/2 teaspoon vegetable oil or butter (each)

When you’re making quesadillas, it’s all about the cheese. After all, queso is right there in the name. That’s why a Cooper® quesadilla is such a good idea. Because Cooper® Sharp has the power to take that meal from “quesadilla” to “quesa-delicious” in no seconds flat. Flat like a tortilla.
Ingredients
Directions
-
Peel and thinly slice avocados to make approximately 20-24 slices. Season avocado slices with paprika, salt, or pepper to taste. Set aside.
-
With the vegetable oil or butter, lightly and evenly grease a medium skillet. Warm skillet over medium heat. Place one of the tortillas in the skillet. On one half of the tortilla, place 3 slices of Cooper® cheese. On top of the cheese, fan out a layer of 5-6 avocado slices. Lightly spread desired amount of salsa on the layer of avocado. Sprinkle with green onions.
-
Once the cheese has melted, fold over the top half of the tortilla. Use a spatula to carefully flip the quesadilla and gently press it flat. Heat for 1-2 minutes on the second side until golden brown.
-
Transfer to a plate and serve with a side of sour cream and salsa. Repeat to make the remaining 3 quesadillas.
