Hawaiian BBQ Chicken Quesadillas

Fresh pineapple, BBQ sauce, and shredded chicken come together to make one easy weeknight meal with these Hawaiian BBQ Chicken Quesadillas. 

When it comes to making a meal for my family, the recipe has to be a. something I know the boys will at least TRY and b. quick and healthy. I guess that’s three things, but whose counting… Notice I said, “try” vs. finish. We are in the thick of picky eating with Joey and I’m trying to make mealtime as pleasant as possible for everyone. And because I like cooking more than macaroni and cheese and pizza, I find myself making things I know he’ll try one of two bites of [and yes, he still gets some of his favorites on the plate too]. That brings me to these Hawaiian BBQ chicken quesadillas. It has components that Joey loves to eat [fresh pineapple, tortillas, and BBQ sauce] with one or two foods Mom is trying to get into his diet more often [protein like chicken].

What I love about this recipe is that the Hawaiian BBQ chicken quesadillas filling can be made DAYS ahead of time [or the day of] by using the slow cooker. And when it’s time to eat the quesadillas are assembled and baked in the oven just before serving. You heard me right. These are oven-baked quesadillas! Which makes it easy to bake a few at a time and the cleanup is a breeze.

Now lucky for me, Joey loves quesadillas. And when Azteca Foods approached me to showcase a fast and healthy recipe using No Artificial Preservative flour tortillas I couldn’t say no!

My quesadilla loving picky eating toddler was the main driver for this recipe. Then there’s these tortillas: made without artificial colors or flavors, high fructose corn syrup, oh and the kicker? They are part of Azteca’s better-for-you options, which includes tortillas with added Calcium and Vitamin D. I personally liked how light and airy they feel— so I didn’t get so stuffed after eating my Hawaiian BBQ chicken quesadilla. They also crisped-up perfectly in the oven!
