BBQ Chicken Mango Quesadillas

Sweet mango and tangy BBQ combine with shredded chicken and cheddar in quick, crispy quesadillas.
Prep Time5 minutes
Cook Time10 minutes
Total Time15 minutes
Servings: 3 servings

Ingredients

  • 6 small (6-inch) flour tortillas
  • 2 cups chicken cooked and shredded
  • 2 cups cheddar cheese shredded
  • 1 mango peeled and sliced
  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
  • 2 tbsp fresh cilantro chopped
  • 1 tbsp butter

Instructions

  • Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and melt about half of the butter to coat the pan.
  • Place one tortilla in the skillet and sprinkle about one-third of the cheddar evenly over half the tortilla.
  • Top the cheese with about one-third of the shredded chicken, a few mango slices, a drizzle of BBQ sauce, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.
  • Fold the tortilla over the filling or place a second tortilla on top, press gently, and cook until the bottom is golden brown, about 2–3 minutes.
  • Carefully flip the quesadilla and cook the other side until golden and the cheese is melted, another 2–3 minutes. Add more butter to the pan if needed.
  • Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling (about two more quesadillas), using the remaining butter as needed.
  • Transfer finished quesadillas to a cutting board, cut into triangles, and serve warm.

Equipment

  • Nonstick Skillet
  • Spatula
  • Knife
  • Cutting Board
  • Measuring Cups and Spoons

Notes

  • Use ripe mango for sweetness and best flavor.
  • Cook over medium heat so the cheese melts without burning the tortilla.
  • Keep finished quesadillas warm in a 200°F (93°C) oven while you finish the rest.
  • Leftovers keep in the fridge up to 5 days in an airtight container.
  • For longer storage, freeze double-wrapped for up to 3 months.
