Ingredients

servings:

170 grams cream cheese (goat, or fresh goat cheese, crumbled)
1 clove garlic (chopped)
1/2 onion (small, chopped)
1 red chili pepper (fresh, chopped)
1 red bell pepper (roasted, peeled and chopped, or marinated red pepper)
2 tablespoons fresh coriander (chopped)
1/2 lime (or lemon)
200 grams surimi (sticks, or crabsticks, crumbled)
1 papaya (small, peeled, deseeded and chopped)
1 pinch salt
4 tortilla (wraps, flour or corn)
1 mango (large, ripe, peeled, stoned and chopped)
120 milliliters cream (thick)
lemon juice (to taste)

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.
