Ingredients

- 1 cup BBQ sauce
- 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, drained)
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 flour tortillas (large)
- 2 green onions (finely sliced)
- 2 tablespoons butter (or oil for frying)
- 0 optional: ranch dressing or sour cream for serving
Directions
Step 1
1. Shred the cooked chicken breast using two forks or chop it into small pieces.
Step 2

Step 4
4. On top of the cheese, evenly distribute the BBQ chicken mixture, pineapple chunks, and sliced green onions.
Step 5
5. Sprinkle additional cheese over the chicken mixture for extra gooeyness, then fold the tortillas in half to create a semi-circle.
Step 6
6. Heat 1/2 tablespoon of butter (or oil) in a large skillet over medium heat. Once melted, carefully place a folded tortilla into the pan.
Step 7
7. Cook each quesadilla for 2-3 minutes on one side until golden brown and the cheese begins to melt, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side. Adjust heat as necessary to avoid burning.
Step 8
8. Repeat with remaining quesadillas, adding more butter or oil as needed.
Step 9
