juice, ancho chile powder and salt. Top with
chopped cilantro and remaining cheese,
spreading cheese to within 1/8 inch of the
edges. Cover with remaining tortillas, press
edges together to seal. Transfer to well-oiled
grill. Cover grill and cook about 3 minutes or
until cheese begins to melt and bottoms are
browned. Turn quesadillas browned side up to
cutting board and cool a few minutes. Cut each

dollop of pineapple salsa.
Pineapple Salsa: Stir ½ cup fresh pineapple
cut in ¼" dice into ¾ cup medium hot
refrigerated tomato salsa. Serve with
quesadillas.

meat and bake in 400°F oven on an oiled baking
sheet. Bake 5 minutes or until cheese has
melted. Run under broiler to brown tops.
