Sunshine
Hello blog world,
Sorry I haven't talked to you in awhile its not you it's me I've been busy and selfishly abandoned you and I am sorry. Anyways to celebrate April 1st and the first sunny day in a little bit I made mango "chicken" quesadillas. I found that Hercules double IPA was a perfect pairing for this meal.
You will need:
(this will make 3 whole quesadillas)
1 package brown rice tortillas
1 block manchego cheese (sliced or shredded)
1 container goat cheese
1-2 whole mangoes (chopped into small cubes)
1/2 an orange pepper
1 package Smart Strips® Chick'n
a jar of smokey peach salsa
canola oil
crushed red pepper, black pepper to taste
(You may also sub vegan cheese shreds)
In a medium size skillet on medium heat combine 1 Tbs canola oil, chick'n and orange peppers add a few dashes or red and black pepper and simmer for about 5 mins then lower heat and continue simmering until ready to use to assemble.
In a separate frying pan add 1 Tbs of canola oil and evenly spread. Once preheated add one tortilla and cook for about 1 min or until lightly toasted then flip and layer on manchego cheese, mango, chick'n and orange pepper.One a separate tortilla smear on goat cheese and peach salsa. Cook until bottom tortilla is toasted then flip and repeat for top layer. Let cool for 3-5mins then slice with a knife or pizza cutter.
Then enjoy!
WOW bonus recipe!

1 ripe avocado
1/2 small white onion
