Ingredients

Method

1.Using a fork, mash the avocado and juice together in a small bowl. Season to taste.
2.Heat oil in a large frying pan; cook the beef, stirring, until browned. Add cumin; cook, stirring, 1 minute or until fragrant. Stir in the beans, tomato and onion. Remove pan from heat.
3.Divide beef mixture among four tortillas; sprinkle with cheese. Top with remaining tortillas. Cook one at a time in a preheated sandwich press, for about 2 minutes or until cheese is melted and tortillas are browned lightly.
4.Cut quesadillas into quarters; serve with avocado mixture, sour cream and lemon wedges.

If you don’t have a sandwich press, cook these in a large frying pan or grill pan. Cook one at a time, over medium-low heat, about 2 minutes each side. Use 2 spatulas to carefully flip quesadillas.
