CARIBBEAN QUESADILLAS

Flori says she sometimes serves this in taco shells with lettuce and tomato. I added a can of tomatoes and jalapeno peppers to the mixture for spice. This is a great vegetarian option. Recipe courtesy of Taste of Home 2009 Annual Recipes and Flori Christensen of Bloomington, Indiana.

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, stir together the honey mustard and pineapple preserves. Divide the mixture evenly between 4 of the tortillas. Spread evenly to within 1 inch of the edges. Distribute the Swiss cheese, chicken, bacon evenly over the pineapple mixture; top with remaining tortillas to make quesadillas.
  • Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Melt a small amount of the butter in the skillet, tilting the pan to cover the surface with butter. Place one of the quesadillas into the skillet, and fry on each side until lightly browned and the cheese has melted, about 1 1/2 minutes per side. Keep cooked quesadillas in a warm oven while you fry the remaining.
  • To serve, cut each quesadilla into 6 wedges and arrange on a platter with pineapple tidbits in the center.

CARIBBEAN CHICKEN QUESADILLAS

I found this recipe online and altered it slightly. I came across this while searching for Caribbean recipes for ZWT5. Edited to add: I made this a few days ago and found the mixture needed a little sweetness so I added a bit of honey. I think this may have been because my fruit was a little tart due to not being ripe enough. Just wanted to mention so that you can taste your mixture ahead of time and decide if you want a touch of sweet added before assembling.
