Quesadilla, Tostada and Chalupa Recipes
Colorful Pepper and Mango Quesadillas
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1/2 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1/2 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1/2 yellow bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1/2 red onion, chopped
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon oregano leaves
1 ripe but not too soft mango, peeled, seeded and chopped
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
Juice of 1 lime
1 serrano or jalapeno chile, minced, or some crushed red
pepper flakes to taste, optional
Flour tortillas (great to use two or three different colors/flavors)
Heat oil in large nonreactive skillet over medium heat. Add peppers, onions,
chili powder and oregano. Saut 2 minutes until softened. Add mango, cilantro,
lime and hot pepper, if using. Stir to combine well; let cool.
Makes enough for about 3 (9-inch) quesadillas; each makes 3 to 4 appetizer
servings or 2 entree servings.
For each quesadilla, spread 3/4 cup filling over the tortilla. Spread 2 tablespoons
of your favorite salsa over the filling. Sprinkle 1/2 cup shredded cheese over
the salsa and top with the second tortilla. Quesadillas can be assembled a day
before cooking and stored stacked on a plate, covered well in your refrigerator.
Bake quesadillas on a baking pan in a preheated 375 degree F oven 10 minutes
or saute them in a nonstick pan sprayed with no-stick cooking spray. Cook 2
minutes on each side until lightly browned and cheese is melted. After cooking,
cut into 2-inch-wide wedges and garnish
