Steps:

• Move oven rack to lowest position; heat oven to 400°F. Spray 1 side of 4 tortillas with cooking spray. On large cookie sheet, place tortillas, sprayed sides down, overlapping in center so tortillas do not hang over edge of sheet. Top evenly with bacon, pineapple, cheese and remaining tortillas. Spray tops of tortillas with cooking spray. Place another cookie sheet on top of tortillas; press down.
• Bake on bottom oven rack 8 to 10 minutes or until bottom tortillas are golden brown. Turn cookie sheets and quesadillas over. Bake about 5 minutes longer or until bottoms are golden brown and cheese is melted. Cut into 8 small wedges; serve warm with salsa.

BLOOMING QUESADILLA RING RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375˚F (190˚C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, add the chicken, onion, red bell pepper, jalapeño, and taco sauce, and mix to combine. Set aside.
• Cut each tortilla in half. Evenly add about 2 tablespoons each of the cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, and chicken mixture to each tortilla half.
• Roll the tortillas into cones, starting fro the cut edge and making sure not to push the ingredients out of the tortilla.
• Place a wide mouth jar or glass in the center of the baking sheet.
• Create a ring around the jar with about 13 tortilla cones. The points of the cones should be in the center, touching the jar. Sprinkle cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese over the layer. Repeat with the remaining cones to make 2 more layers, finishing with the rest of the cheddar and Monterey Jack. Remove the jar from the center of the ring.
• Bake until the cheese is melted and the edges of the tortillas are crispy, 15-20 minutes.
• Carefully transfer the blooming quesadilla to a serving platter. Place your dip of choice inside the ring and top with your desired garnishes. Serve immediately.
• Enjoy!

CRISPY-EDGED QUESADILLA

Steps:

• Place a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat, then add the oil. Let oil heat up for 20 seconds, swirling the pan around so the oil coats the bottom.

Using the spatula, press down firmly on the top of the tortilla until some of the cheese runs out into the pan. Let the quesadilla cook until the cheese that's leaked out solidifies and turns brown, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Flip the quesadilla over and let cook on the other side for another 1 to 2 minutes, until the cheese is crisp and golden. Slide quesadilla onto a plate and serve immediately.
