Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Flour tortillas
- 200 grams Brie cheese
- 1 large Fresh mango
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
- 1 small Jalapeño
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 teaspoon Honey (optional)
Instructions
Peel the mango, remove the pit, and slice the flesh into thin strips approximately 2 to 3 inches long.
Remove the rind from the brie cheese and slice it into thin, even pieces.
Finely chop the fresh cilantro and the jalapeño (remove seeds if you prefer less spice).
Lay two tortillas flat on a clean surface. Evenly distribute the brie slices, mango strips, chopped cilantro, and jalapeño on each tortilla.
Drizzle a small amount of honey over the filling if desired for added sweetness.
Place the remaining two tortillas on top, creating a sandwich-like structure.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter, allowing it to melt and coat the pan.
Carefully place one quesadilla in the skillet and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Repeat with the second quesadilla, adding more butter as needed.
Transfer the cooked quesadillas to a cutting board and let them rest for 1 minute before slicing into quarters or eighths.
Serve immediately and enjoy the balance of creamy, sweet, and spicy flavors!
