Directions

In a large bowl, mix together the cheese, garlic, onion, peppers, chili, coriander, salt, and lime juice.
Add the surimi and papaya, and mix carefully so as not to squash the papaya.
Lightly grease a heavy frying pan with olive oil.
Place a quarter of the mixture on one half of a tortilla wrap and fold over.
Heat the frying pan and brown the quesadilla for 2–3 minutes on each side until golden on the outside and hot on the inside.
Repeat this action with the remaining tortillas.
To prepare the mango cream, place all the ingredients in a blender and mix until smooth.
Serve the quesadillas accompanied by the mango cream.
