When the cheese is beginning to melt turn the quesadilla over to cook the other side. When the cheese is oozing remove the quesadilla from the pan and keep it warm while you cook the rest of the quesadillas.

Combine all the ingredients in a small bowl. Taste and season.
To make the avocado mash:
Mash the avocados with the lime juice, chilli flakes coriander leaves and season with salt and pepper.
