Mango-Brie Chicken Quesadillas
On our trip to Key West, we stopped by a food truck serving tropical quesadillas. I discovered them through my trusty Trip Advisor, since I always read reviews on a restaurant before trying them out (the one time we didn’t, we had a case of food poisoning). The menu item that stuck out for me was their mango-brie quesadillas. And so, of course, I told A that we have to stop by and grab one to share. It was delicious. Unlike anything I had ever had before. The flavors blended so well and it was absolutely amazing.
So what does a food blogger do when she encounters an out-of-this-world dish? She recreates it.
Happy Thursday!
