Ingredients
2 cups broccoli florets
12 ounces grated cheddar cheese
4 large 12-inch flour tortillas
Vegetable oil, for tortillas
1 medium avocado, sliced thin or chopped for serving
Sour cream, for serving
1/2 red onion, minced
1 ripe tomato, minced
1 jalapeño, seeded and minced
Fresh lime juice
Pinch of salt
Directions
Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli and blanch until it’s bright green and fork tender, about 3 minutes. Then drain the broccoli, let it cool slightly and chop it finely.
If you’re using the Dad Add, now would be a good time to chop that stuff up . Combine the minced ingredients in a bowl and set aside. Preheat a large skillet over medium-low heat. If you haven't already grated your cheese, do it now.
Brush one tortilla lightly with vegetable oil on one side and add it to the warmed skillet, oiled side down. Sprinkle a loosely packed cup of grated cheese on one half of the tortilla. Top with 1/2 cup of chopped broccoli.
Fold the tortilla over to cover the filling and form a half-circle. Cook the quesadilla for about 3 minutes per side until it’s crispy and the cheese is melted.
Repeat with making the other quesadillas.
Cut the quesadillas into triangular segments, and serve with sour cream, avocado, and the spicy pico!.
