To prepare macho guacamole:
CUT avocados in half longways. Remove pits and scoop out flesh into a large bowl. Mash to desired texture with a fork. Add Adobo Spice Blend, lime zest, lime juice, tomatoes, cilantro, onion, and sour cream. Mix well. Set aside.
To prepare quesadillas:
COMBINE chicken, Southwest Spice Blend, and 1 tsp. Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil in a large non-stick skillet, over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until warmed through, 5-7 mins. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
ASSEMBLE each quesadilla by spreading ¼ cup cheese on top half of 1 tortilla. Top with 1 cup chicken and finally an additional ¼ cup cheese. Fold empty half of tortilla over top and press down slightly.
WIPE skillet clean, return to a medium-high heat.
SPRAY pan thoroughly with non-stick cooking spray.
WHEN pan is hot, reduce heat to medium, and add 1 quesadilla (2 if pan is large enough), cover and cook 1-2 mins. on each side (turning over carefully), until cheese has melted and tortillas are golden.
TRANSFER to a cutting board and cut into 3 or 4 wedges.
