Easy and Healthy Mexican Style Dish

Trust me when I say, I am not a good cook. So when I find something easy that I can make myself for lunch/dinner, that tastes amazing, is healthy AND doesn’t take long to make, count me in.

The main dish for today’s Court Can’t Cook are my quesadillas, with a side dish of fresh guacamole. Before I came to Australia, I never even ate guac, but since my girlfriend Michelle made us some from her homemade recipe, I have been HOOKED.…. Guacamole/ avocados are very high in healthy fats which is good for when you are counting your macros/ trying to put good foods into your body, but I wouldn’t recommend eating it everyday, and the side of tortilla chips that you’ll dip it with isn’t the healthiest choices either. 

Hope you enjoy this recipe, and feel free to message me if you have any questions! 

HOMEMADE GUACOMLE🥑: 

You will need:

• 1 avocado (1 avocado per person has been working for us) 

• Lemon juice (teaspoon approx)

• Pink sea salt (to taste)

• Pepper (to taste)

• Red onion 

• Mortar and pestle (a fancy bowl to put all the ingredients in and something to help crush it all together and mix) 

• Tortilla chips or something yummy to dip into your guac!

Directions: 

• Peel + cut avocado(s) and place in mortar

COURT’S QUESIDILLA’S🤤: 

Ingredients:

• Shredded mozzarella cheese

• Red pepper

• Banana peppers (if you don’t like spicy things then don’t add these in)

• Baby spinach 

• Red onion

• Chicken (if you are vegetarian take this out to make this a completely vegetarian option)

• Franks hot sauce- I loveeee sauces but most of them are very high in sugar and are bad for you, so when I am eating healthy I use Frank’s. 

• Whole grain large tortilla shells 

Directions:

• Cut/chop all vegetables

• Cut chicken

• Place whole grain tortillas flat on baking sheet (use however many tortillas you for the amount of quesadillas you want to make) 

• Place all prepped ingredients and cheese onto one half of each tortilla

• Add hot sauce!

• Bake for approx 7 minutes and then flip quesadilla and bake for another 5 minutes on the other side. 

• When it is golden brown and toasty looking it is complete!
