Guacamole Quesadilla and a Summery Treat

I have been seriously neglectful of this blog lately, and in noticing I hadn't posted in a month (!!) I decided I'd jump back in with some yummy summer foods/treats.

Guacamole quesadilla:
I'm sure this is a thing somewhere, but for now I'm gonna pretend that I'm a culinary genius.

Ingredients:
Avocado (1/2-1 full avocado per quesadilla depending on how much you want...for me a whole one I cannot get enough avocado)
Onion
Garlic
Tomato
Lemon juice
Salt
Cheese
Tortilla
Olive oil or butter

Instructions:
Chop onion into small pieces.
Mince garlic.
Put garlic and onion in a small frying pan with a little olive oil or butter over medium heat until garlic and onions start to brown (if the onions don't brown don't worry it is more important that the garlic not burn).
Stir frequently to cook onions and garlic equally.

Place tortilla flat on a plate, and put a thin layer of cheese across half of it.
Cut the avocado in 4 strips length wise, and 4 across while it is still in the skin so that you have avocado cubes.
BEFORE REMOVING FROM SKIN pour lemon juice across the cubes and sprinkle salt over them.
Use a spoon to remove the cubes from the skin and spread them across the cheesed half of the tortilla.
Cut the tomato into small chunks and spread across the cheesed part of the tortilla.
Spread the onion/garlic in the same way.
When all of the ingredients are down spread another thin layer of cheese to help hold them in place when flipping.
Fold the tortilla over.
In a large frying pan melt a little bit of butter.
Turn stove down to medium/low heat
Transfer quesadilla to pan and let sit until first side is lightly browned.  Repeat on second side.  Cut your quesadilla and ENJOY!

And now, since summer is arriving, and it's becoming cold treat season, I wanted to share with you an amazing summery treat.

I like this because you don't need a lot to be satisfied.  Just take a small bowl or mug, put one scoop of vanilla ice-cream in the bottom, take a spoon and put a little nutella on top of the ice-cream.  I found Bueno bars in my local grocery store, but many of you won't be so lucky, so the Ferro-Rocher chocolates make a great substitute or just leave it with the nutella.

Yum!
