While quesadillas are baking, prepare avocado: Peel and pit avocado and mash in a bowl with lime juice. Season with salt and pepper and adjust lime juice if necessary (not all limes yield the same amount of juice).
When quesadillas are finished baking, remove from oven and cut into wedges. Top each quesadilla with equal parts avocado and yogurt.
