For extra flavor, consider adding other fillings such as cooked chicken, shredded pork, or sautéed vegetables. A squeeze of fresh lime juice over the avocado will prevent browning and add a bright, citrusy note. Serve with your favorite toppings like sour cream, salsa, guacamole, or a zesty cilantro-lime crema. For a crispier tortilla, lightly brush the outside with oil or cooking spray before cooking. Feel free to substitute different types of cheese, such as cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a Mexican blend.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare your mise en place: Gather all ingredients and have them ready to assemble. (5 minutes)
02
StepPreheat a large frying pan or griddle over medium heat. The pan should be hot enough to lightly brown the tortilla but not so hot that it burns. (2 minutes)
03
StepPlace one tortilla flat onto the preheated pan. Cook for approximately 1 minute, or until the bottom begins to lightly turn golden brown. (1 minute)
04
StepFlip the tortilla over. Quickly sprinkle about 1/4 cup of mozzarella cheese evenly over the surface, followed by a scattering of sliced black olives and avocado. Drizzle with a touch of hot pepper sauce. (2 minutes)
05
StepCarefully place another tortilla on top to create a quesadilla sandwich. Cover the pan with a lid to help the cheese melt evenly. (1 minute)
06
StepCook for another 1-2 minutes, or until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is beginning to melt. Flip the quesadilla and cook for another 1-2 minutes, uncovered, until the cheese is completely melted and gooey, and both sides of the quesadilla are golden brown and crispy. (4 minutes)
07
StepCarefully transfer the cooked quesadilla to a cutting board. Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to create more quesadillas. (Time varies based on the number of quesadillas)
08
StepOnce slightly cooled, cut each quesadilla into wedges or triangles. Serve immediately.
