Instructions

1 Heat a cast-iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Warm one tortilla on
one side, about 15 seconds, then flip.
2 Lower the heat to medium. Sprinkle 1½ tablespoons of the cheese over the whole
tortilla. Top the cheese with ½ cup of the shredded chicken and ¼ cup of the
cilantro, spreading them evenly over the tortilla. Top with an additional 1½
tablespoons of the cheese and cover with a second tortilla.
3 Cook on the first side until browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Turn carefully with a
large spatula so that the filling does not fall out, then cook on the second
side until browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Carefully remove the from the skillet and
place on a large wooden cutting board to cool, 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat with the
remaining tortillas, cheese, chicken, and cilantro.
4 Cut each quesadilla into six wedges. Serve warm, topped with High-Protein
Guacamole.
5 Use an immersion blender to blend together Greek yogurt, avocado, lime juice and
salt. Blend until smooth. Mix in salsa at the end. Serve with quesadillas.
