Top with 1/8th of the mango mixture. fold the top half of the tortilla over to form a half moon and enclose the filling. Use a toothpick to secure the tortilla. Continue the process with the remaining ingredients. Make a medium-hot fire in the bottom of a charcoal grill. In a small bowl, combine the melted butter and oil. Lightly brush both sides of the quesadillas with some of the butter mixture. Grill the quesadillas for 30 seconds. Rotate them 90 degrees and grill for another 30 seconds. Turn over and continue grilling until the cheese begins to melt, about 1 minute. Transfer to a cutting board, remove the toothpicks, and cut each quesadilla into 3 wedges. Serve immediately.
