Ingredients

1/4 cup chopped dried apricots

1/4 cup Seedless Raisins

1 teaspoon grated fresh orange peel

6 tablespoons orange juice

1 container (15 oz.) part-skim milk ricotta or low fat

cottage cheese

6 tablespoons honey

1 teaspoon ground coriander or 1/2 teaspoon curry powder

12 burrito-size flour tortillas

2 cups chopped fresh dole Tropical Gold

Pineapple, well-drained

1-1/2 cups chopped Mango

Mint sprigs

Directions

Combine apricots, raisins, orange peel, and orange juice. Let stand until apricots and raisins are softened (about 10 minutes).

Combine apricot-raisin-juice mixture, ricotta cheese, honey, and coriander in blender or food processor container. Cover; blend until smooth.

Arrange 6 tortillas in a single layer on 2 or 3 lightly oiled large baking sheets. Spread tortillas evenly with cheese mixture, covering tortillas to within 1/2 inch of edges. Evenly cover cheese mixture with pineapple and mangos, then top each tortilla with one of the remaining tortillas. Press lightly.

Bake at 400ºF., 8 to 10 minutes or until tortillas are lightly browned, changing positions of baking sheets halfway through baking for even browning.

Slide quesadillas onto cutting board and cut each into 4-6 wedges. Arrange on a platter and garnish with mint sprigs, if desired.
