Wash and dry all produce. Preheat broiler to high or oven to 500 degrees. Halve, peel, and thinly slice onion. Mince a few slices until you have 2 TBSP minced onion, then set this aside in a small bowl. Core, seed, and thinly slice bell peppers. Drain pineapple. Cut chicken into ½-inch cubes.
Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add sliced onion and bell peppers. Cook, tossing occasionally, until softened, 4-5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add pineapple and cook, tossing, until lightly browned, 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from pan and set aside.
Meanwhile, finely chop tomatoes and cilantro. Halve lime. Add tomatoes, half the cilantro, and a squeeze of lime to bowl with minced onion. Toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
Add a large drizzle of oil, chicken, and Southwest spice to pan used for veggies over medium-high heat. Cook, tossing, until chicken is no longer pink in center, 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Return veggie mixture to pan along with a squeeze of lime and remaining cilantro. Toss to combine, then remove pan from heat.
Rub one side of each tortilla with a drizzle of oil. Place oiled-side down on a baking sheet. Take half the mozzarella and sprinkle it on tortillas in an even layer. Top with filling, then sprinkle with remaining mozzarella. Fold tortillas in half to create four quesadillas.
Broil or bake quesadillas in oven until golden brown on top, 1-2 minutes. Flip and repeat with other side. (TIP: Keep an eye on quesadillas to make sure they don’t burn.) Cut into wedges, then serve with pico de gallo and sour cream on the side.
