Ingredients
Recipe yields 6 servings
2 Tbsp honey
1 cup raspberries, pureed
1 tsp lemon juice
1 cup diced peeled mangos
1 Tbsp chopped fresh chives, plus additional for garnish
1 Tbsp lime juice
1 1/2 Tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
3 oz light brie cheese, thinly sliced
4 low fat flour tortillas (8-inch diameter)
Sliced jalapeño pepper (optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, combine honey, raspberries and lemon juice. Set aside.
Step 2
In another bowl, combine mango, chopped chives, lime juice and cilantro, tossing gently to coat. In a medium nonstick skillet, heat mango mixture over medium-high heat for 2 minutes, or until mixture is heated through.
Step 3
Divide mango mixture and Brie among each tortilla and fold tortillas in half.
Step 4
Lightly coat another medium skillet with nonstick cooking spray and heat over medium heat. Cook 2 quesadillas in skillet for 2 minutes on each side, or until tortillas are lightly browned and crisp. Remove from skillet and keep warm. Repeat with remaining quesadillas.
Step 5
Cut each quesadilla into 3 wedges and serve with sauce. Garnish with chive strips and sliced jalapeños, if desired.
