Crispy Cheese Guacamole Tortillas Recipes

GUACAMOLE-CHEESE CRISPS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Line cookie sheet with cooking parchment paper. For each cheese crisp, spoon 1 tablespoon cheese (loosely packed) onto paper-lined cookie sheet; pat into 1 1/2-inch round.
• Bake 6 to 8 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Immediately remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool 5 minutes or until crisp.
• Onto each cheese crisp, spoon 1 1/2 teaspoons guacamole and about 1/2 teaspoon each sour cream and salsa.

CRISPY CHEESE & GUACAMOLE TORTILLAS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Sprinkle the cheese over the tortillas, then sandwich them together in pairs, so you have 2 tortilla sandwiches. Sit on baking sheets and bake for 8-10 mins until golden, crispy and the cheese is melted.
• Halve the avocado and spoon out chunks onto the 2 tortillas; squash into the tortillas a bit with the back of the spoon. Scatter over tomatoes, chilli, coriander and seasoning. Squeeze over some lime and eat immediately.

GUACAMOLE WITH CUMIN-DUSTED TORTILLA CHIPS

Steps:

• Make the chips: Heat 2 inches peanut oil to 360 degrees F in a high-sided skillet. Fry the tortillas in batches until golden brown and crisp, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain on paper towels and season immediately with cumin and salt.
• Make the guacamole: Combine the avocados, red onion, jalapeno, lime juice and cilantro in a bowl and gently mix to a chunky consistency. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately with the cumin tortilla chips.

CHEESE QUESADILLAS WITH FRESH GUACAMOLE

Steps:

• Lay out 2 of the flour tortillas on a flat surface. Top with the cheeses, spreading evenly over the tortillas. Top with remaining tortillas and press to seal.
• Heat a large saute pan over high heat. Add enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan and lower the heat to medium. Cook until golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Repeat with the other quesadilla.
• Let cool for 5 minutes. Slice into 8 or 10 pieces. Serve with the Guacamole.
• 1 small ripe Haas avocado
• 1 tablespoon minced jalapeno pepper
• 2 tablespoons minced red onion
• 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro leaves
• 1/2 lime, juiced
• Salt
• Halve the avocado and remove the pit with a sharp knife. Discard the pit. Scoop the flesh into a small bowl and mash with a fork. Stir in the remaining ingredients, season with salt to taste, and set aside.

CRISPY-EDGED QUESADILLA

Steps:

• Place a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat, then add the oil. Let oil heat up for 20 seconds, swirling the pan around so the oil coats the bottom.
• Place the tortilla in the skillet and sprinkle the cheese evenly over the top. Once the cheese begins to melt, 30 seconds to 1 minute, use a spatula to fold the tortilla in half. Using the spatula, press down firmly on the top of the tortilla until some of the cheese runs out into the pan. Let the quesadilla cook until the cheese that's leaked out solidifies and turns brown, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Flip the quesadilla over and let cook on the other side for another 1 to 2 minutes, until the cheese is crisp and golden. Slide quesadilla onto a plate and serve immediately.

TORTIZZAS

Steps:

• Place racks in upper and lower thirds of oven and heat oven to 400 degrees. Line two large sheet pans with parchment paper.
• Toss the cucumbers, tomatoes and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a colander set in the sink and toss to combine. Let sit to drain excess liquid, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, arrange the tortillas on the sheet pans, four per pan, and sprinkle each with the mozzarella and dried oregano. Bake until the cheese is melted and lightly browned, and the tortillas' edges are crispy but still pale, 8 to 10 minutes.
• While the tortillas are baking, make the yogurt sauce: In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the yogurt, garlic, lemon juice, honey and the remaining 1 teaspoon salt.
• To serve, evenly divide the drained cucumbers and tomatoes among the tortillas. Top each with feta, avocado and parsley, and spoon the yogurt sauce over everything, leaving some back to serve on the side. As a final flourish, lightly drizzle the tortizzas with honey. You can eat these flat like mini pizzas or folded like tacos.

LUVANN'S GUACAMOLE

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mash the avocados and stir in salt to taste. Mix in the tomato, onion, jalapeno, cilantro and lime juice. Cover and chill in the refrigerator at least 30 minutes before serving.
