1. Prepare your ingredients by shredding or dicing the cooked chicken, peeling and dicing the mango, slicing the brie cheese, chopping the cilantro, and slicing the green onions.
2. Place a large skillet over medium heat and add 1/2 tablespoon of butter or a drizzle of oil to coat the pan.
3. Lay a tortilla flat on a work surface. On one half of the tortilla, layer approximately 1/2 cup of shredded chicken, a few slices of brie, a quarter of the diced mango, a sprinkle of cilantro, and some green onions. If desired, drizzle with a small amount of hot sauce for added spice.
4. Fold the other half of the tortilla over the filling to create a half-moon shape, pressing gently to seal the edges.
5. Transfer the quesadilla to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until golden brown and lightly crispy. Carefully flip the quesadilla and cook the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes until the brie is melted and bubbly. Adjust heat as necessary to avoid burning.
6. Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it rest for 1 minute before slicing into wedges.
7. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling ingredients, adding more butter or oil to the skillet as needed.
8. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces, such as sour cream or salsa, or simply enjoy them on their own!
