Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Flour tortillas
- 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 8 slices Cooked ham slices
- 1 cup Pineapple tidbits (drained)
- 0.25 cup Barbecue sauce
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Chopped cilantro (optional)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
Spread a thin layer of barbecue sauce on one side of each tortilla.
Sprinkle 1/4 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over half of each tortilla.
Layer 2 slices of cooked ham on top of the cheese, followed by 2 tablespoons of pineapple tidbits.
If desired, sprinkle chopped cilantro over the pineapple for added freshness.
Fold the other half of the tortilla over the filling to create a half-moon shape.
Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in the skillet and place the quesadilla in the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Repeat with the remaining tortillas, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
Slice each quesadilla into wedges and serve warm. Enjoy!
