BAJA CALIFORNIA QUESADILLAS

Makes 8 appetizer servings.

Ingredients
• 1 each small ripe avocado, pitted
• 2 packages (3 oz. each) cream cheese, softened
• 3 tablespoons Frank’s® RedHot® Original Cayenne Pepper Sauce
• 1/4 cup minced fresh cilantro leaves
• 16 each flour tortillas (6 inch)
• 1 cup shredded cheese
• 1 cup chopped red or green bell pepper

 
Directions
1.
Scoop avocado flesh into food processor or mixer bowl. Add cream cheese and Frank’s® RedHot® sauce. Process or beat until smooth. Blend in cilantro.

2. To make quesadillas, spread 1 tablespoon avocado-cheese mixture onto each tortilla. Sprinkle cheese and pepper over half the tortillas, dividing evenly. Top with remaining tortillas; press gently.

3. Grill quesadillas on greased rack over medium heat until cheese melts and tortillas are lightly browned on both sides. Cut into triangles to serve.

Tips:
* Quesadillas may be cooked in a lightly greased nonstick skillet.
* Avocado-cheese mixture is great as a dip with tortilla chips.


Frank’s RedHot is the secret ingredient used in the original Buffalo Wing created in Buffalo, NY in 1964.  For more recipes with the original Buffalo flavor of Frank’s RedHot log onto www.franksredhot.com
