Today’s recipe is full of flavor. When I tasted it for the first time my knees went a little wobbly – I am not kidding. Plus I love the fact that I was able to sneak in my favorite fruit pineapples. This is a perfect snack for the Big Game on Sunday. You can cook the pineapple and chicken in advance :)

What You Need ( Below is enough for 4 Quesadillas)

  • 8 whole Flour Tortillas
  • 2 Tablespoon Margarine
  • 1 cups Grilled Pineapple Cubes

  • Salt And Pepper, to taste
  • 3 cups Cheddar and Monterrey Jack Cheese
  • 1 whole Jalapeno, Sliced – Seeded
  • 1 tablespoon of finely chopped Cilantro
  • 3 Tablespoons Barbecue Sauce

What To Do

Cook Chicken – Heat up 1 tablespoon of Margarine in a pan. I used salt and pepper plus some other spices — it is really up to you about how you season the chicken.

then I cut them into strips ;)

Here are some of the chicken strips
Next I cut up the pineapple into smaller chucks and cooked them in a pan with a small about of margarine. Cook Well
Quesadilla TIME!
Place each tortillas into a heated pan ( you want to warm them up)
Next add cheese, pinch of Cilantro, sprinkle of Jalapeno, Pineapple, Chicken; BBQ Sauce ( a little goes a LONG way)  – should look something like
