Mango, Chicken, and Chorizo Quesadillas

Chorizo, smoked pork sausage spiced with cumin and garlic, is often used in Spanish cooking.

Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 quesadilla)

Ingredients

• 1  link Spanish chorizo sausage (about 3 1/4 ounces), diced
• 1 1/4  cups  shredded roasted skinless, boneless chicken breast
• 4  (8-inch) fat-free flour tortillas
• 3/4  cup  (3 ounces) shredded reduced-fat Mexican cheese blend
• 1/2  cup  chopped peeled mango
• 4  teaspoons  chopped fresh cilantro
• Cooking spray
• 1/2  cup  fat-free roasted corn salsa
• 1/4  cup  fat-free sour cream
• Cilantro sprigs (optional)

Preparation

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausage to pan; sauté 1 minute. Stir in chicken; sauté 2 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Remove sausage mixture from pan; set aside. Wipe pan with a paper towel.

Sprinkle half of each tortilla with 3 tablespoons cheese; top with 1/4 cup sausage mixture, 2 tablespoons mango, and 1 teaspoon cilantro. Carefully fold tortillas in half, pressing gently to seal.

Return pan to medium heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add 2 filled tortillas to pan; cook 2 minutes on each side or until lightly browned. Repeat with cooking spray and remaining filled tortillas. Top each serving with 2 tablespoons salsa and 1 tablespoon sour cream. Garnish with cilantro sprigs, if desired.
