Summer's Coming Quesadillas

These quesadillas are delicious. Summer is right around the corner, at least by the calendar, and the leeks in my garden are close to going to seed. I wanted to use most of them before they go to seed (they taste more tender before) so I came up with this recipe. I cook the corn tortillas with jack cheese on the stove top and in a separate pan I cook the leek and ground turkey. This is great with guacamole and green or red salsa and shredded romaine lettuce. You can keep it simple and quick or add lots of toppings. Here goes!

Turkey-Leek topping:

1 pound of ground turkey
1 leek, use the green and white part, slice thin
2 TBS butter
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp powdered garlic
1/2 tsp mild red pepper
salt to taste

Heat the pan up with butter and add the leek on medium heat. cook for 5 minutes , stirring once or twice. Add the turkey and stir. Then add the spices (garlic, cumin, red pepper salt), stir, cover with a lid and cook until turkey is done, 5-10 minutes.

Meanwhile . . .
Cheese Quesadillas:

5 corn tortillas
1/4 pound jack cheese

We use small corn tortillas, add them to a buttered heated on medium pan. Place grated cheese on each tortilla, cover pan and let cook until the cheese has melted. Place each finished tortilla on a plate and add toppings as you like.

Here's a wonderful and easy guacamole:

2 avocados
1/2 small lime
salt to taste
pinch of cumin
pinch of powdered garlic

Mash avocados in a bowl, add 1/2 squeezed lime juice and spices, stir and serve with quesadillas.
