Delicious Roasted Chicken and Brie Quesadillas with Fresh Mango Salsa

Prep Time25 minutes
Course: Main Course

Ingredients

  • 1 package small flour tortillas (you can use the large ones for bigger portions)
  • 1 medium wheel of brie
  • 4 cups cooked chicken, shredded (I use rotisserie chicken)

Salsa:

  • 2 mangoes, cubed/diced
  • 1/2 small red onion, diced
  • 1/3 cup cilantro, chopped (can use basil or parsley)
  • 1 lemon or lime, zested and juiced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Condiments:

  • Guacamole homemade or store bought, optional
  • Sour cream optional

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, combine cubed mangoes, red onion, cilantro, oil and lime juice/zest.
  • Stir the mango salsa to combine and set aside.
  • Get out your tortillas and lay them flat.
  • Slice your brie (about 1/2" thick slices)and lay them on the bottom of half of the tortillas (you'll need the other 5 for lids!)
  • Place a generous amount of shredded chicken on top of each brie-topped tortilla and top with another tortilla; continue until all tortillas are used
  • In a large pan (I like to use my cast iron pan but if you're using a stainless steel pan, you can add a touch of oil), brown and flip over doing the same on the other side (you can also use a panini press or even a waffle iron!!); cut into 4's to serve.
  • Serve with a scoop of the mango salsa. If using, you can also add cold sour cream and a spoonful of guacamole (and why wouldn't you?!).

Notes

I like the cool of the mango with the warm tortillas but, you can add it inside the tortilla with the chicken and brie before cooking.
