Instructions

Prep
1

Wash and dry all produce. Preheat broiler to high or oven to 500 degrees. Halve, peel, and thinly slice the red onion. Mince a few onion slices (you’ll want about 2 Tablespoons) for the pico de gallo. Set aside in a small bowl. Core, seed, and thinly slice the bell pepper. Drain the pineapple. Cut 1 chicken breast into ½-inch cubes. (Keep the other for a later use.)

Cook the peppers and onions
2

Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the sliced red onions and bell peppers. Cook, tossing occasionally, for 4-5 minutes, until softened. Season with salt and pepper.

Make the pico de gallo
3

Meanwhile, finely chop the tomatoes. Chop the cilantro. Halve the lime. Add the tomatoes and half the cilantro to the bowl with the minced red onions. Stir in a squeeze of lime, and season with salt and pepper.

4

Cook the pineapple and chicken: Add the pineapple to the pan with the peppers and onions. Cook 2-3 minutes, until slightly caramelized. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the pan and set aside. Add the chicken, a drizzle of olive oil, and the Southwest seasoning to the pan. Cook, tossing, for 3-4 minutes, until cooked through. Season with salt and pepper. Return the pineapple mixture to the pan along with a squeeze of lime and the remaining cilantro.

Assemble the quesadillas
5

Using 2 tortillas (we sent more), rub one side of each with a small drizzle of olive oil. Place oil-side down on a baking sheet. Spread half the cheese evenly onto each tortilla. Top with the chicken mixture and remaining cheese. Fold the tortillas over. Place under the broiler for 1-2 minutes, until golden brown. Flip and broil 1-2 minutes on the other side. TIP: Watch carefully so they don’t burn!

6

Serve: Cut the chicken and pineapple quesadillas into wedges, and serve with the pico de gallo and sour cream. Enjoy!
