Adventures in Cooking-Brie Quesadillas with Mango Guacamole

In the vein of trying new things I was in search of a delicious new recipe. I found this one at bettycrocker.com. I've never had Brie cheese before, nor have I ever considered putting mango in my guacamole. Hmmmm, sounds different. Let's give it a go!

Begin with the guac. Using a fork, moosh together an avocado, finely chopped jalapeno, garlic and cilantro, some lime juice and a little salt, or a generous helping of salt if you're me. Top that with small chunks of mango and stir gently. I thought the guac tasted a little bland before adding the mango; then I tasted it with. OMGosh!! The mango made the guacamole. Seriously! There is a burst of sweetness that compliments the guaciness to perfection. Absolutely fantastic!

Here's a teaser shot to show the mouthwatering details. Oops! Wipe your chin.

Now it's time to make the quesadillas. Everyone knows how easy quesadillas are to make. Butter one side of a flour tortilla and drop it butter side down on a heated frying pan. Now add torn slices of your favorite deli ham (mine is honey ham) and smallish strips of brie cheese. It should look like this:
Top that with another buttered tortilla. After heating for a minute or so it should look like this:
Flip it very carefully so both sides of the quesadilla are browned equally. When it's done, cut it into triangles using a pizza cutter. My dinner guest and I slathered the guac onto the dillas and spent the next 20 minutes moaning in mango delight. It was so good that we made it again the following day for a barbecue, adding a bit more lime, salt and cilantro and a sprinkling of red pepper flakes to the guacamole. Yum-mm-mm-mm!
