Chipotle Quesadillas with Minty Mango Salsa

 

 

 

Chipotle Quesadillas with Minty Mango Salsa - crispy buttery quesadillas with mildly spicy chipotle flavors and creamy avocado - game day or any day!

 

The countdown is on for Game Day.

I like football okay. Denver is on our short list of places to live. Still, game day gatherings are all about the food for me.

Foodball, really.

When planning a party, make ahead recipes are my friend. I like having most of the work done beforehand, with easy finishes of sticking something in the oven or quickly cooking up these quesadillas. Then I am free to enjoy the party. This weekend, that means I can watch the game too.

Or the commercials.

Do you love a cheesy gooey quesadilla as much as I do?

These can be assembled and stacked ahead of time, ready to go for a quick melting in the pan whenever ready. If you have a panini press or even a waffle iron, you can set up a quesadilla ingredients bar and guests can make their own - very easy!

These have a buttery crunchy tortilla, with a cheesy flavorful filling. We make these just as often without the cheese, and the avocado brings that creamy cool goodness to balance the chipotle. The sweet mango and cool mint of the salsa is the perfect finish.

INGREDIENTS:

8 gluten free tortillas
1 avocado, pitted and peeled

Cover each with one of the remaining four tortillas, pressing together.

Air fryer instructions: Secure quesadilla with toothpicks to keep from 'flying around.' Cook the Taco Crunch Wrap for 7 minutes at 370°F, turning halfway through.

Carefully flip to other side, adding more butter as needed. Cover and cook until both sides are golden brown, crisp, filling is heated and cheese melted.
