Ingredients

• 4 pieces flour tortillas
• 1 cup pineapple (fresh or canned, drained)
• 1 cup mango (peeled and diced)
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.25 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened, optional)
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons honey (optional, for drizzling)
• 1 tablespoon cilantro (optional, chopped)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the pineapple and mango by chopping them into small, bite-sized pieces if not already done.

Step 2

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small pat of butter (about 1/2 tablespoon).

Step 3

Place one tortilla in the skillet and sprinkle half of it with 2-3 tablespoons of shredded mozzarella cheese.

Step 4

On top of the cheese, layer 2-3 tablespoons each of diced pineapple and diced mango.

Step 5

If desired, sprinkle about 1 tablespoon of shredded coconut on the fruit layer for added texture and flavor.

Step 6

Fold the tortilla in half to cover the filling and press gently with a spatula to flatten slightly.

Step 7

Cook the quesadilla for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Step 8

Repeat the process for the remaining tortillas and fillings.

Step 9

Remove the quesadillas from the skillet and let them cool slightly before cutting each one into wedges.

Step 10

Drizzle with honey for added sweetness and garnish with chopped cilantro if desired. Serve warm and enjoy your Tropical Fruit Quesadillas!
