  1. Make a tight dough with whole wheat flour, salt and water. Rub in a little oil. Divide the dough, make whole wheat tortillas by rolling dough into a thin disc like a roti
  2. Lightly roast the tortilla on one side and until golden spots appear on the other side. Keep them aside
  3. In a small pan, heat oil, add sliced onions and let them slowly caramelize. Add sugar, salt and ground pepper. Empty pan and keep aside
  4. In same pan, heat oil add chopped garlic and spinach. Sauté till spinach shrinks and then add salt and ground black pepper. Keep aside
  5. Gather all fillings together. Sprinkle avocado with some ground black pepper
  6. To make quesadillas, on a warm tawa or skillet, place a tortilla on lightly done side. Spread some caramelized onions. Remember tawa should be on low-medium flame or tortilla will burn on the underside while you are adding fillings
  7. Smear the sautéed spinach all over
  8. Place sliced sweet red chilli or sliced jalapeños
  9. Place some sliced avocados all over
  10. Sprinkle (or pile on) some cheese all over
  11. Fold and roast for a minute till cheese melts
  12. Garnish with coriander leaves and serve immediately with sour cream, ketchup
Notes
Store bought tortillas can be used. Fresh homemade ones are the best though

Change fillings as you desire

Use thick smooth creamy yogurt in place of sour cream to serve
