Kimchi and Avocado Quesadillas


The spicy flavor of kimchi makes it a natural filling for quesadillas and a good contrast with mild, buttery avocado. If desired, you could also add grilled chicken or shrimp.


Ingredients:

8 flour tortillas, 7 to 8 in. in diameter
1 jar (14 oz.) kimchi, drained and chopped
2 cups shredded jack cheese
2 avocados, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
2 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar
1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
Cilantro leaves


Directions:

1. Top 4 tortillas evenly with kimchi, then with cheese, avocados, and remaining tortillas.

2. Mix oil, vinegar, and sesame seeds in a small bowl; set aside.

3. Heat a 12-in. frying pan over medium-high heat. Toast each quesadilla until lightly browned and cheese has melted, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Slice each quesadilla into wedges, sprinkle with cilantro, and serve with sesame dipping sauce.
