Crisped Camembert and Mango Quesadilas

Serves 6 as an appetizer or 2 as an entrée

4 flour tortillas
olive oil for brushing
8 ounces Camembert cheese, sliced thin
1 mango, sliced into thin strips
3/4 tsp chili powder (optional)
1/4 c red or yellow onion, diced

Warmed mango softens and creams together with melting Camembert, creating a silky smooth texture that delicately contrasts with the crispy grilled tortillas in these quesadillas. Camembert works well with the mango, but a French Brie would also work. 
  1. Lightly brush two flour tortillas with oil on one side and place on work surface, oil-side down.
  2. Arrange a thin layer of Camembert cheese on two quesadillas, leaving about 1/4" space from the edge. Place mango slices on top of the cheese, and sprinkle with chili powder and onion. Cover each tortilla with another tortilla, to make a "sandwich."
  3. Grill over low heat until tortillas are lightly crisped and cheese has softened, about 3-4 minutes, turning once. Slice each quesadilla into six wedges.
