A note about serious food allergies

They once said pineapple didn't belong on a pizza. My friends, they were wrong. The ubiquitous "they" are wrong again, when they poo-poo pineapple in quesadillas. But you and I know better, with the sweetness of the pineapple and the sweetness of the BBQ coming together in perfect synergy. These hand-held wonders will make your dinner special. Who cares what they say? Tip: Easier way to mince cilantro? Gather them all in one hand and lay on the cutting board. Use your knife in a rocking motion to cut, then turn 90 degrees and repeat until the herbs are properly minced!

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Coarsely chop cilantro (no need to stem).

    Pat pineapple dry and coarsely chop.

    Trim and thinly slice green onions, keeping white and green portions separate.

    Pat diced chicken dry, and season all over with spice rub and a pinch of salt.

  2. 2

    Cook the Filling

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil. Add chicken to hot pan. Stir occasionally until browned and chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 5-7 minutes.

    Add white portions of green onions and pineapple. Stir occasionally until green onions soften, 1-2 minutes.

    Transfer filling to a mixing bowl and stir in BBQ sauce until chicken is coated.

    Wipe pan clean and reserve.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Quesadillas

    Place tortillas on a clean work surface. Divide cheeses evenly among tortillas, placing cheeses on half. Top cheeses with filling.

    Fold tortilla over filling and cheese.

  4. 4

    Cook the Quesadillas

    Return pan used to cook chicken to medium heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil to hot pan. Working in batches, add two or three quesadillas (there should be no overlap). Cook until golden brown, 2-4 minutes per side.

    Transfer quesadillas to a plate. Repeat with remaining quesadillas, adding 1 tsp. olive oil for each batch.

  5. 5

    Make Cilantro Crema and Finish Dish

    In a mixing bowl, combine sour cream and cilantro.

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, garnishing quesadillas with green portions of green onions and serving cilantro crema on the side for dipping. Bon appétit!
