Barbecue Chicken and Mango Quesadillas

You won’t believe how much flavor something that takes so little time to whip up can have. You save time by using leftover or rotisserie chicken or pork, and when you combine the smokiness of the barbecue sauce with the sweetness of the mango inside the crisp tortilla oozing with cheese, you’ve got a serious taste winner. Bonus: it’s eaten with your fingers so no utensils to wash. For the best quesadillas ever, go to Jo Cooks to get the recipe.
