These are excellent! My whole family loved them! Even my picky eater who didn't want a quesadilla for dinner ate the whole thing and now loves quesadillas! I had never thought about putting guacamole inside and mixing it with the other ingredients. Great idea! Thanks so much.....

I have never had guacamole inside a quesadilla before and I love it that way! We liked the addition of black beans too. I used 1 tsp each of cumin, ancho chili powder and black pepper and a jalapeno monteray jack cheese. I'm not much good at flipping these puppies so found it easier to make on half the tortilla and just folding it in half. Half a one was very filling.
