Tropical Quesadillas

1 tablespoon butter
3/4 cup chopped red onion
1 cup chopped red bell pepper
2 1/2 cups (10 ounces) shredded Monterey jack cheese
1 large mango, peeled, thinly sliced and cut into 1-inch pieces
6 (8-inch) flour tortillas

Preheat oven to 250 degrees F.

In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat and sauté onion and red pepper until almost softened, 2 minutes.

Lay out 3 tortillas. Sprinkle tortillas with onion, pepper and half the cheese. Arrange sliced mango on top. Cover with remaining cheese and top with remaining tortillas. Cook tortillas over medium heat, one at a time, turning carefully, browning both sides until cheese is melted.

Keep quesadillas in warm oven on a foil-lined baking sheet until ready to serve. Cut into wedges and serve immediately.

Makes 24 appetizers.
