It’s easy to get stuck in a jack cheese, chicken and/or bean quesadilla rut. But, crispy flour tortillas are actually a great vessel for all types of ingredients and there’s no reason why we shouldn’t let our imaginations run wild! And while Muenster cheese (my favorite melting cheese) and mango slices aren’t exactly a crazy combo, they’re a start.

(Yield: 4 quesadillas)
Ingredients:
8 flour tortillas
1 c shredded Muenster cheese
1/2 mango, thinly sliced
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Procedure: Preheat oven to 350F. Place four tortillas on baking sheet and brush the top-facing side lightly with olive oil. Flip tortillas oiled side down and sprinkle each tortilla with cheese. Divide mango slices evenly amongst four tortillas and sprinkle with remaining cheese. Cover with remaining four tortillas and brush tops with remaining olive oil. Place into oven and cook for 10-12 min until crispy. Serve hot.

To make dipping sauce, combine 3 tbsp sour cream, 1 tbsp lime or lemon juice, and 2 tbsp chopped cilantro together. Serve with quesadillas.

How would you re-invent the classic quesadilla?
[...] I love relating to her adventures as a young foodie in NYC. I also love when she cooks things like Mango and Muenster Baked Quesadillas. [...]
yum!!!! Great combo
ooh! I’ve done grilled cheese with a bunch of different fruits before, but never mangoes. I’m ashamed now
Interesting (and tasty looking) combo!! It would be fun to experiment with other fruit/cheese combinations.
This looks great! Love me my meunster cheese
I’m totally guilty of sticking to the bean/cheese quesadilla combo…but this is so simple and looks o good I’m definitely going to have to branch out!
