Grilled Hawaiian Quesadillas Recipes

HAWAIIAN QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• Preheat a griddle or large skillet over medium-high heat.
• Place a tortilla on the griddle. Spoon 1/4 cup of ham evenly over half of the tortilla. Top with 1 Tbsp of green pepper, 2 ounces of pineapple, and 1/4 cup of mozzarella. Fold the bare part of the tortilla over the top of the ingredients.
• Cook until the bottom begins to brown. Carefully, flip the quesadilla over and continue to cook until the bottom browns and the cheese is melted. Remove from the griddle to a cutting board. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
• Cut each quesadilla into 4 slices and serve warm with pizza sauce for dipping, if desired.

• Place one or two tortillas on the grill, and sprinkle with a thin layer of cheese, chicken, onion, olives, and chiles. Top with another tortilla, and grill until brown and crispy on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Cut into wedges to serve.

• Preheat grill or grill pan to medium.
• Place half of the tortillas on the grill, and drop a quarter-cup of cheese in the center of each. Spread cheese as close to edges as possible.* Place a second tortilla on top of each.
• Grill until bottom tortilla is lightly browned and cheese begins to melt, about 1-2 minutes. Flip and continue cooking until browned on the other side.
• Cut into quarters and serve with salsa, sour cream, and guacamole.
• *Optional: Add grilled chicken or shrimp and/or sauteed onions and peppers at this step. Both will add flavor and texture, although the recipe is complete without them.
