How To Make kimchi and avocado quesadillas

  • Step 1
    Drain kimchi well, then chop. Set aside.
  • Step 2
    If your sesame seeds aren't already toasted, lightly toast them in a small frying pan. Mix oil, vinegar and sesame seeds in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • Step 3
    Top four tortillas with kimchi. Layer on some cheese, then the avocado. Fold in half. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
  • Step 4
    Heat a 12 inch frying pan over medium high heat. Toast each quesadilla until lightly browned and cheese is melty, about 1-2 minutes per side. You can usually do two at a time. Cut each quesadilla into wedges, sprinkle with the cilantro, and serve with the sesame dipping sauce alongside.
