RCP: Brie, jalapeno & mango quesadillas

by Jenise » Thu Aug 06, 2009 6:46 am

This is great vegetarian summer appetizer that outfits a familiar old form--the quesadilla--with a whole new attitude that covers the hot/sour/salty/sweet spectrum. Especially good served with riesling:

8 flour tortilla
healthy wedge of diced brie (rind removed), diced
finely diced fresh seeded jalapeno peppers, to taste
handful cilantro leaves
1 mango, peeled and sliced thin, blotted dry

Lay out four tortillas and sprinkle with brie and other ingredients. Press second tortilla on top of each and grill in hot pan, 2-3 minutes, or place two quesadillas each on a cookie sheet and pop into a screaming hot oven for several minutes until hot through and edges start to brown. Remove, cut into wedges with a pizza blade, and serve.

Substitute papaya or pineapple then. Both work very well in this blend.
