Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Flour tortillas (8-inch)
- 1 large Ripe mango
- 1 cup Shredded Monterrey Jack cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
- 0.25 cup Red onion, finely sliced
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 piece Fresh lime (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Peel the mango, cut the flesh away from the pit, and dice it into small, bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
Finely chop the fresh cilantro and prepare the red onion by slicing it thinly.
Lay out the tortillas on a flat surface. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of shredded Monterrey Jack cheese evenly over one half of each tortilla.
Top the cheese with diced mango, a small amount of red onion, and chopped cilantro. Be careful not to overstuff the tortilla.
Fold the other half of the tortilla over the filling to create a half-moon shape.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add 1/2 tablespoon of butter. Allow it to melt and coat the pan evenly.
Place one of the folded tortillas in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese has melted. Repeat with the remaining quesadillas, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
Once cooked, transfer the quesadillas to a cutting board and let them cool slightly before slicing them into wedges.
Serve warm, with lime wedges on the side if desired for an added burst of freshness.
