Quesadilla

So, an awesome best friend of mine told me she forgot how to make quesadillas. Come again? One of the easiest things to make in the kitchen - quesadillas. [Amy, I love you!]
I wanted to be able to have a picture up, so I made a quesadilla for lunch today. Yay!
My Ingredients:
- two large flour tortillas
- hand-grated monterey jack cheese
- sliced or chopped black olives
If I ever have left-over chicken, I like shredding it up to put in my quesadilla.
Top one tortilla with your cheese and other ingredients. Spread it out evenly - and don't use too much cheese and whatnot, otherwise it'll be nasty and you'll probably make a mess. Use maybe half a cup or so of cheese, depending on how big your tortillas are.
Put a frying pan, or a skillet, on your stove. Check? Okay, turn your stove on to the highest level and let it heat up. Once it's nice and hot [put your hand above the pan - DON'T TOUCH IT - so you can tell whether it's hot enough or not], turn the heat down to medium or medium-low and put the quesadilla on the pan. Once you see the cheese starting to melt, put the second tortilla on top and press it down with a spatula. It should be ready to flip. Use your spatula to lift up the bottom, so you can check to see if it's ready to flip. Make sure it's got a crunchy-looking texture and a light brown or golden colour. Flip!!! CAREFULLY! Don't be so quick to flip, that it ends up on the floor - that's never happened to me, but I can imagine it would suck.
As you brown up the other side, check it with a spatula to make sure you don't burn it. When you think it's done, take it off the pan and put it on a plate. Turn your stove off, please! Cut the quesadilla into fours. And you're done. Congrats! You just made a quesadilla. Eat it. It's good, eh? Serve it with some guacamole, sour cream, salsa, or eat it naked.

If you want to quickly make some guacamole to dunk your quesadillas in, here's how to do it!
My Mother's Ingredients:
- one avocado
- lime/lemon juice
- seasoned salt
Cut the avocado in half [remember to cut around - there's a giant seed inside] and take the seed out. Spoon the avocado out and put it in a bowl. Add a few drops of lemon or lime juice and a couple pinches of seasoned salt. Mash it up with a fork. Dunk your quesadilla and eat it. It tastes even better.

You're welcome!
