Best 7 Hawaiian Quesadillas Recipes

HAWAIIAN-STYLE QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• Heat a griddle over medium-high heat. Toast one side of a tortilla, 1 to 2 minutes. Lay 2 to 3 slices of ham on the other side of the griddle to heat through. Flip toasted tortilla over, sprinkle with mozzarella and Cheddar cheese blend, layer with hot ham, spread with desired amount of salsa, sprinkle with desired amount of pineapple, and fold tortilla in half.
• Turn quesadilla over and continue to cook until cheese is melted and tortilla has reached desired crispness, 2 to 4 minutes. Cut into wedges with a pizza cutter. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Serve with sour cream.

HAWAIIAN BBQ CHICKEN QUESADILLAS

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

Steps:

• Spray counter lightly with non-stick cooking spray. Roll each Texas roll or 2 dinner rolls combined into a thin 8-inch circle. Brush grill or grill pan with olive oil. Grill each roll, on both sides, about 2-3 minutes. Sprinkle 4 of the grilled rolls with 1/2 of the cheese. Combine ham, pineapple and cilantro and toss together until well combined. Divide ham mixture equally between the 4 cheese topped grilled rolls. Sprinkle remaining cheese over the top of the ham mixture. Place the remaining 4 grilled rolls over the cheese topped ham mixture. Place back on grill and grill until cheese is melted. Cut into wedges and serve.

HAWAIIAN QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• 1. Salt and pepper chicken and cook on grill until done. While chicken cooks, carefully grill pineapple rings and then cut pineapple into smaller pieces. When chicken is done, cut into slightly smaller than bite size pieces or shred.
• 2. In a skillet with a tiny bit of oil, saute onion and jalapeno. When onion is almost cooked, add the roasted red pepper slices and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Remove from heat and get ready to assemble the quesadillas!
• 3. I found the easiest way to do quesadillas, especially since the ingredients going in are all hot except the cheese, is to pre-toast the tortillas. Lightly butter or spray one side of each tortilla and place it on a skillet or griddle until it is just barely starting to turn golden brown. Assemble between non-toasted sides the chicken, a drizzle of bbq sauce, grilled pineapple pieces, sauteed mixture, cheese, and another drizzle of bbq sauce. Return to the griddle or place in a warm oven just long enough to finish melting the cheese. Cut into wedges and serve!
