Notes

  1. Use ripe mango. Make sure your mango is ready to be eaten. Unripe mango is very sour and bitter. We want the mango to add some sweetness.  
  2. Cook at a medium temp. Cook the quesadillas at a medium temperature to allow the cheese time to properly melt without burning the flour tortilla.
  3. Keep warm in the oven. Keep the already-cooked quesadillas warm in the oven while you assemble and grill the others. Just turn your oven on to 200°F (93°C) and put them on a sheet pan.
  4. Leftover quesadillas will keep in the fridge for up to 5 days in an airtight container. To reheat, put them in the microwave for a few minutes on medium power or in a toaster oven at 350°F (177°C) for about 5 minutes.
  5. They can also be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months when double-wrapped in plastic wrap. Then you can reheat them from frozen in the oven at 350°F (177°C) for about 15 to 20 minutes.
