Ingredients

Mango and brie quesadilla

• 4 (8 inch)  flour tortillas

• 1 serrano chili, minced or 2 jalapenos, minced
• 2 scallions, trimmed, and, diced
• 1 ripe mango, peeled, and, sliced
• 1/2 cup lightly packed fresh cilantro, leaves, chopped, stems discarded before before measuring
• 8 ounces brie cheese, sliced into 1/4-inch slices

Sour cream and lime dipping sauce

• 1/4 cup sour cream or plain yogurt
• 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions

1. 1

   Mango and Brie Quesadilla.

2. 2

   Tortillas are available in all grocery stores but sometimes hidden in the refrigerated or frozen food sections.

3. 3

   The mango, if unavailable, may be replaced with a papaya o pear.

4. 4

   Rind removal for the Brie is optional—but I always remove it.

5. 5

   Heat a 10-inch nonstick sauté pan over medium-high heat. Place 1 tortilla in the dry pan for approximately 1 minute per side, or until it just begins to brown. Remove. Repeat with the second tortilla. (If your tortilla expands like a blowfish, poke it with a fork to release the hot air.).

6. 6

   After the second tortilla has browned, leave it in the pan and reduce heat to medium-low. Spread half of the mango evenly over the tortilla, then top with half of the peppers, scallions, cilantro and Brie strips. Top with the first tortilla. Cover the pan with a lid, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook for 2 minutes.

7. 7

   Flip the quesadilla with a spatula, re-cover the pan, and continue cooking for 2 more minutes. (Don’t worry if a bit of cheese escapes and begins to sizzle loudly.).

8. 8

   Remove the quesadilla from the pan, let sit for 1 minute, then slice into 8 wedges (like a pizza). Serve immediately with the sour cream dipping sauce.

9. 9

   Repeat with the remaining ingredients.

    Sour Cream and Lime Dipping Sauce:.

11. 11

    Blend sour cream, lime juice and salt with a fork until the mixture is smooth. Transfer to a small decorative bowl or teacup and refrigerate.
