For a vegetarian option, replace the ham with sautéed mushrooms or bell peppers. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick. Try different types of cheese, such as Monterey Jack or Pepper Jack, for a variation in flavor. Make sure to drain the pineapple very well to prevent soggy quesadillas. Feel free to adjust the amount of salsa and pineapple to your personal preference.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
2 mins
Preheat a griddle or large skillet over medium-high heat. (2 minutes)
02
Step
1 mins
Lightly toast one side of a tortilla on the hot griddle until it begins to turn golden, approximately 1 to 2 minutes. This will help prevent the quesadilla from becoming soggy.
03
Step
1 mins
While the tortilla toasts, place 2 to 3 slices of ham directly on the griddle to warm through. (1 minute) This adds another layer of flavor and ensures the ham is nicely heated.
04
Step
0 mins
Flip the partially toasted tortilla over. Sprinkle generously with the mozzarella and Cheddar cheese blend. Layer with the warmed ham, spread with your desired amount of salsa, and top with drained pineapple chunks.
05
Step
0 mins
Carefully fold the tortilla in half, creating a half-moon shape.
06
Step
3 mins
Turn the quesadilla over and continue to cook until the cheese is fully melted, gooey, and the tortilla has reached your desired level of crispness, approximately 2 to 4 minutes per side. Press down gently with a spatula to ensure even cooking and melting.
07
Step
0 mins
Remove the quesadilla from the griddle and transfer it to a cutting board. Use a pizza cutter or knife to cut it into wedges.
08
Step
0 mins
Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas, ham, cheese, salsa, and pineapple.
09
Step
0 mins
Serve immediately with a dollop of sour cream on the side for dipping. For an extra touch, mix the sour cream with a spoonful of salsa for a creamy, tangy dipping sauce.
