Chicken and Avocado Quesadillas

  
   
   
   
Ingredients -  
   
2 tablespoons Olive Oil, divided
2 tablespoon Lime Juice
1/2 teaspoon ground Cumin
2 cup cooked, diced Chicken or prepared Chili or Shredded Barbecued Beef
1 fully ripened Mexican Avocado, pitted, peeled and cut in 1-inch cubes
4 Flour Tortillas (7 to 8 inches each)
1 cup shredded Jack or Pepper Jack Cheese
  
   
Preparation:  
   

Preheat oven to 450°F. In a medium-sized bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of the oil, the lime juice and cumin. Add chicken and avocado; toss gently. Lay tortillas on a baking sheet; brush both sides with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Spoon chicken and avocado mixture on one side of each tortilla, dividing evenly; top with cheese. Fold tortillas in half to cover filling. Bake until tortillas are crisp, about 8 minutes. If desired, serve with salsa or sour cream.
