How to make Quesadilla Stacks with Guacamole & Sour Cream
Quesadillas
Cut each wrap in half. Place some mozzarella cheese on one side of the half and keep the other side clear as you will fold it over like a sandwich quarter.
Place some of the other ingredients on top of the cheese, then add more cheese as the last layer. Fold the clean side over to cover the filling side completely. Follow this step with all the wrap halves.
Heat a griddle pan on low heat, then place your filled quesadillas on the griddle pan and cook until the cheese has melted. Turn over the quesadillas to melt the cheese on the other side as well. Repeat until all the quesadillas are grilled.
Form stacks on a platter and place a bamboo kebab through the stack to hold it together.
Guacamole
Crush the avocado with a fork. Add salt and pepper to taste, then the lemon juice. Crush further to combine all the lemon and seasoning, ending up with a chunky paste.
Place into a bowl as a side to your quesadillas.
Sour Cream
Place the cream, lemon zest, juice, and salt and pepper into a mixing bowl, then whisk vigorously with a whisk until semi-thick.
Place the sour cream into a bowl as a side to your quesadillas and guacamole.
Tips & Tricks
For a spicier kick, add more jalapeno slices to the quesadilla filling.
Serve the quesadilla stacks immediately for the best taste and texture.
