    • 1 1/2 cups Heavy cream
    • To taste Salt and pepper
    • 3 tbsp. Melted butter
    • 10 in. 4 flour tortillas
    • 2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded

    • 4 tbsp. Sour cream, for garnish
    • 10-15 strips Green Mountain Gringo® Corn Strips, lightly crushed

  • INSTRUCTIONS

    • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
    • Place the tomato soup, pureed Green Mountain Gringo® Salsa, heavy cream and a pinch of salt and pepper into a medium-sized sauce pot.
    • Bring to a simmer, stirring often to prevent the soup from scorching.
    • When soup comes to a simmer, turn heat to low and keep warm while preparing the quesadillas.
    • Lightly brush the melted butter on one side of each of the tortillas keeping the buttered side for the outside to be grilled.
    • Place two of the flour tortillas onto a parchment-lined sheet tray.
    • Top each with 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and 3 tablespoons of Green Mountain Gringo® Medium or Mild Salsa and spread the ingredients out evenly.
    • Place the other two flour tortillas on top and lightly press down to sandwich them together.
    • Place the quesadillas into the oven to bake for approximately 15 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
    • Carefully flip each quesadilla with a spatula halfway through the cooking process, so both sides get golden brown and crispy.
    • Organize the sour cream, crushed Green Mountain Gringo® Corn Strips and the diced avocado for topping the soup.
    • Portion the soup evenly between 4 soup bowls.
    • Garnish each soup with 1 tablespoon of sour cream, a pinch of ground corn strips, and some fresh-diced avocado.
    • Cut each quesadilla into 4 or 8 equal wedges, divide evenly and serve on the side.
