HAWAIIAN-STYLE QUESADILLAS



Hawaiian-Style Quesadillas image

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.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, ripe fruit: The quality of your fruit will greatly impact the flavor of your quesadillas. Look for fruits that are brightly colored and free of blemishes.
  • Use a variety of fruits: Don't be afraid to mix and match different fruits to create your own unique quesadilla flavor combinations. Some popular options include pineapple, mango, papaya, and strawberries.
  • Grill your fruit: Grilling the fruit before adding it to your quesadilla will help to caramelize the sugars and enhance the flavor.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is an important part of any quesadilla, so don't skimp on quality. Look for a cheese that is flavorful and melts well.
  • Cook your quesadillas over medium heat: Cooking your quesadillas over medium heat will help to prevent them from burning and ensure that the cheese melts evenly.
  • Serve your quesadillas immediately: Quesadillas are best served hot and fresh. Serve them with your favorite dipping sauce, such as salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.

Conclusion:

Grilled Hawaiian quesadillas are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. They are packed with flavor and can be customized to your liking. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give grilled Hawaiian quesadillas a try.
