Brie Quesadillas with Mango Salsa


Made these quesadillas last night and they were wonderful, quick, and delicious.
Sometimes I have to be quick on my feet with meals in my house. With work, picking up the kids from school, sporting events, and guitar lessons I don't have a lot of time to prepare a full on meal. I still want our food to be home cooked, fresh, and taste good though!
All you need is some large flour tortillas, brie cheese, mangos, red bell peppers, cilantro, limes, jalapeno, and an avocado.

For the Mango Salsa:

1 ripe Mango - peeled and diced
1 red bell pepper - small diced
1 jalapeno -  seeded and diced
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
juice of 2 limes
1tsp sugar
1tsp salt

Mix all ingredients together and let stand for at least 20 minutes.

For the quesadilla:

Large flour tortillas
Brie cheese - at room temp

Heat your skillet with some olive oil at med heat. Place your tortilla in the skillet and add sliced brie covering one side of the tortilla. Flip the other side of the tortilla over the brie. Once the bottom side of the tortilla is golden brown flip the quesadilla to brown the other side. This process only takes about 4-5 minutes.
Cut your quesadilla in 4 pie pieces. Top with mango salsa and fresh diced avocado.

That's it.


***The Mango Salsa can also be used as a topping for your eggs the next morning, or to top grilled fish, chicken, and steak!

Happy Eatings!!
