Ingredients

• 2 ripe avocados, peeled and chopped
• 2 tbsp chopped red onion
• 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
• 2 tbsp diced tomato
• 5 tsp chopped fresh cilantro, divided, plus more for garnish
• 1/4 tsp kosher salt
• Cooking spray
• 8 (7-inch) tortillas
• 4.2 oz. preshredded Mexican cheese blend
• 6 oz. shredded rotisserie chicken, divided
• Store-bought salsa
• Sour Cream

Directions

1. Using a fork, mash avocados in a medium bowl until chunky. Add onion, lime juice, tomato, 1 tbsp cilantro and salt; mash to desired consistency. Set aside.

2. Preheat waffle iron to high. Coat interior with cooking spray. Place 1 tortilla on waffle iron. Mound 1/3 cup cheese in the center, and spread cheese evenly, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Add 1 1/2 oz. chicken and 1/2 tsp cilantro. Place a second tortilla over filling, and close waffle iron. Cook until quesadilla is golden brown and heated through, 2-3 minutes, keeping an eye on it so the cheese doesn’t ooze out.

3. Remove quesadilla from waffle iron; repeat 3 times with remaining tortillas, cheese, chicken, and cilantro. Cut into wedges; garnish with cilantro. Serve quesadillas hot with guacamole and, if desired, salsa and sour cream.
