Mango Quesadillas image

The flavor and texture of mango goes well with black beans and Cheddar cheese in this easy main dish. The recipe uses vegetarian chicken substitute, but real chicken would work just as well.

Ingredients

1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
½ onion, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1 pinch dried oregano
1 pinch dried basil
1 mango - peeled, seeded and diced
1 (6 ounce) package seasoned chicken-style vegetarian strips (such as Lightlife Smart Strips®)
6 (10 inch) flour tortillas
1 (8 ounce) package shredded Cheddar cheese
1 cup arugula leaves
1 (4 ounce) jar jalapeno pepper rings
1 (8 ounce) jar salsa

Steps:

Place the beans in a saucepan over medium heat, and cook 5 minutes. Partially mash with a potato masher or large spoon. Reduce heat to low, and keep warm until ready to serve.
Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onion and red bell pepper. Season with chili powder, cayenne pepper, oregano, and basil. Cook and stir until vegetables are tender. Mix in mango and vegetarian chicken strips, and continue cooking about 2 minutes, until vegetarian chicken is heated through.
In a separate skillet over medium heat, place the tortillas one at a time until soft and warm, about 2 minutes per side. Spread warm tortillas with equal amounts of the the black beans, mango mixture, Cheddar cheese, arugula, and jalapenos. Fold tortillas over the filling and top with salsa to serve.

Ingredients

8 regular size corn tortillas
10 oz queso fresco
Pico de gallo salsa (learn how to make it with our recipe. *)

Steps:

I recommend buying fresh corn tortillas; the fresher the better.
Prepare the pico de gallo and place it in the fridge until ready to serve.
Cut the queso fresco in long slices. Set aside.
Heat the tortillas on a comal, a pan or griddle, until warm and soft. Transfer them to a tortilla warmer (tortillero)
I don't recommend trying to melt the queso fresco on the tortilla while warming the tortilla. First, it doesn't melt the way you would expect, and second, it will just make your quesadilla soggy.
Take one of the tortillas add a slice (or two) of queso fresco and pico de gallo to taste. That's it, enjoy!
