BBQ Chicken Quesadillas

Trust me when I tell you this, these quesadillas are delicious. It's a different take on using flour tortillas. I think you will be pleasantly surprised. The bbq sauce and pineapple gives this dish a sweetness but it's not overwhelming.

BBQ Chicken Quesadillas
Serves: 4
Adapted by: http://tastykitchen.com/recipes/main-courses/bbq-chicken-quesadillas-3/

Ingredients
2 whole boneless chicken breasts, cooked and shredded or diced
1 cup barbecue sauce (sweet baby ray's is suggested and that is what we used)
8 whole grain/whole wheat flour tortillas, or whatever tortillas you prefer
1/4 red onion, finely diced
1/2 cup fresh pineapple, cut into small chunks
1 1/2 cups reduced-fat colby-jack cheese, shredded
nonstick cooking spray

Directions
-In a bowl, combine the chicken and bbq sauce and set aside.
-Spray a nonstick skillet or cast-iron skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-low heat. Lay one tortilla in the skillet and top with 1/4 of the chicken mixture and sprinkle with onion and pineapple. Top with shredded cheese and lay other tortilla on top.
-Cook about 2 minutes per side or until crisp and melted.
-Repeat with remaining ingredients.
-Serve immediately.

Enjoy! :)
