# Components:

→ Produce

01 - 1 ripe mango, peeled, pitted, and diced
02 - 2 green onions, thinly sliced
03 - 1 small jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped (optional)
04 - 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped

# Directions:

01 - In a medium mixing bowl, combine diced mango, sliced green onions, chopped jalapeño (if using), and chopped cilantro. Season lightly with salt and black pepper and mix gently.
02 - Arrange the flour tortillas on a flat surface. Scatter half of the Monterey Jack and cheddar cheese evenly over one half of each tortilla.
03 - Distribute the mango filling evenly over the cheese layer on each tortilla. Top with remaining cheese. Fold each tortilla in half to create a semicircle.
