For this recipe, you'll need the following:

• 2 large flour tortillas
• 6 oz Brie cheese
• 1 Mango
• 2 green chilies (either canned or roasted and peeled)
• 2 king crab legs

Peel and dice the mango in about 1/2 inch cubes. Dice the green chilies into about the same size. Remove the crab meat from the shell and shred it.

 

Lay one of the flour tortillas out on your work surface. Slice the brie and place it on the tortilla. Do not worry about covering the entire tortilla. When you cook it, everything will spread out. Top the brie with the mango, crab and green chilies. Finally, top it with a little more Brie.

Place the remaining tortilla and cook the quesadilla in a hot pan or on a griddle. Place a piece of foil on the quesadilla and use another pan to weigh it down while it cooks.

Allow the quesadilla to rest for 5-10 minutes before cutting it into wedges to allow the cheese to time to set up.

 Enjoy!
