Barbecue Bacon Pineapple Quesadillas are the dependable combo of sweet pineapple, barbecue sauce and smokey bacon stuffed into cheesy quesadilla!

About four days or so ago I was thinking about two of my regular pizzas… The “Hawaiian” and the “barbecue chicken”. I thought about how A regular here the salty smoky bacon with the sweet juicy pineapple… and then I remembered about my love affair with a certain barbecue sauce and how I haven’t stop finding excuses recipes in which to scarf.it.down!

With that said, I decided to do what any self-respecting foodie would do… and marry those two in a culinary matrimony… and then stuff them in a quesadilla. Genius? I think so!

What Worth keeping most about any ‘dilla is that they can be relatively short and unfussy. Worth keeping a crispy exterior and a cheesy interior, and when stuffed with other savory ingredients {i.e. bacon} they can make for a satisfying lunch {or snack}.

So to be entirely obvious… you’ll need bacon, pineapple, tortillas… some thinly slice red onion and a little of my kitchen-made barbecue sauce… oh and then there’s of course cheese, lots of it too!

Grab some pineapple. I found these spears at my grocery store and since I didn’t need all of them… I snacked on the rest in the meantime.

Slice those babies up and set them off to the side.

Next chop up 8 ounces of bacon into small pieces. It’s already smelling RICH!

Throw the bacon into a hot pan that has a little bit of olive oil. Then cook until the bacon is nice and crispy. When the bacon is perfectly crispy remove with a slotted spoon and place it on a paper towel lined plate. Yup, I also snacked on a couple of those too.

Heat up your griddle or a large 10 inch skillet over medium-medium high and spray with your Misto or cooking spray. This will help get a nice crust on the tortillas.

Speaking of tortillas, throw one on the preheated griddle {or pan}.

Move quickly by topping the tortilla with a little grated Mozz…

…Then a little sliced fresh pineapple…

Sprinkle with the bacon and a few thinly sliced red onions…

And then drizzle with a little of the kitchen-made barbecue sauce. Don’t go overboard because it will only drip out {see above}. I always have a small dish next to me so I can dunk them in more of that liquid gold.

Next, using a spatula, fold and continue to cook your Barbecue Bacon Pineapple Quesadillas for a minute or two.

Slice…

And serve!

Feel free to double dip.
