Ingredients

• 2 Tbsp honey

• 1 cup raspberries, pureed

• 1 Tbsp chopped fresh chives, plus additional for garnish

• 1 Tbsp lime juice

• 1 1/2 Tbsp chopped fresh cilantro

• 3 oz light brie cheese, thinly sliced

• 4 low fat flour tortillas (8-inch diameter)

• Sliced jalapeño pepper (optional)

Preparation

• In a small bowl, combine honey, raspberries and lemon juice. Set aside.
• In another bowl, combine mango, chopped chives, lime juice and cilantro, tossing gently to coat. In a medium nonstick skillet, heat mango mixture over medium-high heat for 2 minutes, or until mixture is heated through.

• Cut each quesadilla into 3 wedges and serve with sauce. Garnish with chive strips and sliced jalapeños, if desired.
