Ingredients

  • 2 poblano peppers, grilled and diced
  • 1 mango, peeled and diced
  • 1/4 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/4 cup crumbled queso fresco cheese
  • 4 flour tortillas

Directions

  1. Preheat a grill to high heat.
  2. Place the poblano peppers on the grill and cook for about 5 minutes, flipping once, until charred and tender.
  3. Remove from the grill and let cool for a few minutes. Once cool enough to handle, peel off the charred skin and dice the peppers.
  4. Dice the mango into small pieces.
  5. In a small bowl, mix together the diced poblano peppers, mango, cumin, garlic powder, oregano, olive oil, and cilantro until combined.
  6. Spread the pepper and mango mixture onto 2 of the tortillas, then sprinkle with the queso fresco. Top with the remaining 2 tortillas.
  7. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place one of the quesadillas in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, until golden brown and crispy. Flip the quesadilla and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the other side is golden brown.
  8. Remove from the skillet and cut into wedges. Repeat with the remaining quesadilla.
