Island Quesadilla Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Heat a stove-top grill pan or griddle to medium-high heat and coat with cooking spray. Season shrimp all over with salt, black pepper and cumin. Place shrimp on the hot pan and cook 2 minutes per side, until bright pink and cooked through. Place pineapple on grill next to shrimp and cook 2 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove shrimp and pineapple from grill and cut both into 1-inch chunks.
• Arrange 4 tortillas on a flat surface. Top with, shrimp, pineapple, cheese, red peppers, and scallions. Place second tortilla on top. Transfer with hands or with a spatula, to a baking sheet. Place a second baking sheet on top to weigh down the tortillas. Bake for 10 minutes, or until cheese is melted and tortillas are golden brown.
• While the quesadillas are baking, in a small bowl, using a spoon, combine sour cream, lime zest and garlic. Mix well to combine.
• In a food processor, combine mango and lime juice. Puree until smooth and remove from food processor and place in a bowl. Using a rubber spatula, stir in cilantro.
• Remove quesadillas from the oven. Cut quesadillas into wedges and serve with lime sour cream and pureed mango on the side.

Steps:

• Lay out tortillas and spread one side with pineapple cream cheese and the other with brie.
• Sprinkle chicken onto the pineapple cream cheese.
• Spread a healthy amount of sweet and sour sauce on the brie side.
• Layer red onions (and peppers, if desired) on top.
• Fold in half.
• Heat just enough oil to cover pan oil and fry on each side until lightly browned.
• Cool slightly and slice in half with serrated knife.
