Mexican Recipe ∼ Grilled Poblano Pepper and Mango Quesadillas

We developed this recipe after trying a similar appetizer at a restaurant in Austin, TX. Depending on the peppers, these quesadillas can be mild and fruity or spicy hot.

Ingredients

• 16 (10 inch) flour tortillas
• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
• 1 mango, peeled and diced
• 1 fresh poblano pepper, seeded and minced
• ¼ cup butter, melted

Cooking Directions

1. Preheat grill for medium heat.
2. Spread half of the tortillas with about 2 tablespoons cream cheese each. Sprinkle mango and poblano peppers over cheese, and press another tortilla on top. Brush butter over the outside of each quesadilla, top and bottom.
3. Grill quesadillas 5 minutes each side, or until golden brown. Remove from grill, and slice into wedges. Serve warm.
