These Mango Chili Quesadillas are a simple and flavorful quesadilla recipe.
I used to live in Southern California where quesadillas are almost daily fare. My son grew up eating them for lunch, and they were on every appetizer and Happy Hour menu along with the chicken tenders and nachos. We don’t live in California anymore, but we still love our quesadillas! So it’s only normal to come up with lots of different ways to make them like these mango chili quesadillas.
This recipe features a unique take on the classic cheese quesadilla. Picture melted brie cheese combined with roasted chilies and fresh mango. It’s delicious!
How to roast poblano chilies:
Roast in the oven at a high heat (425 degrees F) until turning black in spots- or use tongs to hold chili over an open flame until it’s roasted and black. Move the warm roasted peppers to a zip bag, close and let steam for about 15 minutes. Open the bag and the skins should slide off of the chilies. Cut open and remove the seeds too.
