HAWAIIAN-STYLE QUESADILLAS
I made up this ham and pineapple quesadilla recipe when I worked at a cafe and was craving Hawaiian-style pizza. We were serving Mexican food that day so I had to work with the ingredients on hand. I have made this repeatedly since. My favorite quesadilla. I like to mix sour cream and salsa in a small bowl and dip it.

BARBECUE CHICKEN QUESADILLAS
When my kids were small, I'd stuff leftover chicken into these oven-baked quesadillas. I often grab rotisserie chicken instead. -Pam Martin, Canandaigua, New York

HAWAIIAN BBQ CHICKEN QUESADILLAS
I happen to love those BBQ chicken pizzas, especially with a little pineapple on top. So here's a lunch time creation when pizza dough or bread was not an option. Quick and so good! If I cook chicken for this I boil a chicken breast (can be frozen to begin with, just drop it in the water). After about 15-20 minutes just cut open the chicken to see if it is cooked all the way through and ready to use. If the chicken breast is defrosted it takes much less time, but time is estimated. I would encourage others to change this recipe up to create other pizza favorites making a pepperoni quesadilla, meat lovers, hawaiian, chicken alfredo, etc. Get creative! Pizza anyone?

Steps:
- Start to heat up a skillet on the stove because this won't take long.
- Take flour tortilla and sprinkle half of it with cheese and 1/4 of cooked chicken.
- Add bacon bits and a little bit of crushed pineapple (no juice) if desired. Pour a little bit of BBQ sauce on top. Don't be too generous with the sauce or it will seep out of the quesadilla.
- Spray the pan with cooking spray. Fold the tortilla in half and place in pan. It only takes a few short minutes to brown one side and then flip over to brown the other side.
- When done, cut into wedges and serve with added BBQ sauce if you like to dip.
GRILLED HAWAIIAN QUESADILLAS
Juicy pineapple rings team up with the smoked ham to give these grilled quesadillas their Hawaiian-style appeal. And the chopped canned chipotle peppers add a nice little kick.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh chicken, vegetables, and herbs will give your quesadillas the best flavor.
- Don't overcook the chicken: Overcooked chicken will be tough and dry. Cook it just until it is cooked through.
- Use a good quality cheese: A good quality cheese will melt smoothly and give your quesadillas a delicious flavor.
- Don't overload the quesadillas: If you overload them, they will be difficult to fold and cook evenly.
- Cook the quesadillas over medium heat: Medium heat will help to prevent the tortillas from burning.
- Serve the quesadillas immediately: Quesadillas are best served immediately after they are cooked, while they are still hot and crispy.
