Que Pasa Quesadillas with Mango Salsa


"Salsa" (not the dance in this case, but equally reverberatingly "hot") in the Spanish language simply means "sauce". Mango salsa is probably a mexican invention but u could substitute the fruit with another personal fave eg. pineapple.

A versatile, all-savoury yet refreshing dish served at brekkie, lunch or dinner. Generally a hit with both young and old. Enjoy!

U'll need:

tortilla skins (say it aloud now, "TOHR-TEE-YAHH")
a strong cheddar, grated
ham/salami

1. Sandwich ham/salami & cheese with tortilla skins.

2. Grill in a flat pan over low heat till cheese melts. Flip

3. Cut into pieces (like pizza slices)and top with chilled mango salsa.


For the mango salsa:

2 ripe medium mangoes (but not over-ripe as they'll be too soft, slice into cubes(approx. half cm cubes)
half a large white onion, finely diced
one sprig of fresh coriander, washed and finely chopped
3 or 4 chilli padis, seeded and finely chopped
12 small but potent limes, juiced

Mix the above salsa ingredients in a bowl and chill sufficiently.

For best results, serve with some spicy Latin music.

This one is a special one.... dates to a long way back and also not so long ago in Nov 06. A memory dish I will call this one.
