Mango Salsa and Gouda Quesadilla


These were a treat! I decided to use the Mango Peach Salsa that we have at my house to make a sweet/salty quesadilla. I had a quesadilla with mango relish at a restaurant in Boston once and surprisingly liked it so I tried to recreate it a bit here. I sliced up a roasted pepper, used some shredded gouda and then added as much salsa as desired. I then cooked it using my Mom's stovetop panini press. It came out well, but I have to say I miss Hello Kitty. I ate it with some guacamole. We bought these awesome 100 cal guac packs at Costco that help moderate servings of guacamole, they're my new favorite thing. Also the tortilla I used is a special kind called Tumaro's that is only 60 calories! Tortillas are usually really high cal so this is really nice for me because I love using them as wraps. This quesadilla turned out great, I did a good job balancing the flavors and cooked it all the way through so the cheese was melty. It was nice to know that I could repeat a similar (if not easy) recipe in another kitchen with different cooking conditions.
