Mango Chicken Quesadillas - Cinco de Mayo

Published: Apr 17, 2014 · Modified: Oct 10, 2020 · This post may contain affiliate links

In just a few weeks we will be celebrating Cinco de Mayo - one of my favorite holidays. Mike's Mom is Mexican and has taught me how to cook some of THE most amazing dishes. Seriously I could eat Mexican food all day every day. One of the highlights of my trip to Cozumel was all of the Mexican food! Today this recipe landed in my inbox and I can not wait to try it. Everything about it - including it being healthy - sounds like something I could just devour. Plus I love any recipe that doesn't require a ton of cooking - hey, quick and easy is how I do food around here.

Cinco de Mayo commemorates the Mexican army’s victory over France at the Battle of Puebla during the Franco-Mexican War, and has evolved into a celebration of Mexican culture and heritage. Celebrations in the United States often extend beyond the actual day to encompass an entire week, with parades, festivals and fiestas that include music, dancing, and food. A dish like Mango Chicken Quesadillas takes the very traditional Mexican dish but combines shredded chicken with brown mustard, honey and Tabasco creating a flavorful filling and adding mango for a sweet twist. By preparing the meal on the IMUSA Cast Aluminum Comal the food is made healthier and the non-stick surface leaves clean up a breeze. Bringing a vigorous, home-style aroma to the party, this traditional Mexican dish will smells as delicious as it tastes.
