Recipe for Quesadilla with Greens, Manchego, and Pineapple Salsa
Servings: 2 quesadillas, which can be cut into all sorts of shapes if desired
Ingredients
- *Two 10-inch all-natural white or wheat tortillas
- *approximately 2 ounces of sliced or shredded Manchego or Cheddar cheese
- *2 cups Dole Power Up Greens or other mixed baby greens or arugula
- *1 cup diced Dole pineapple or other fresh pineapple
- *2 tablespoons diced red onion
- *1 tablespoon minced fresh cilantro
- *1 teaspoon minced fresh chile pepper
Instructions
- 1. To make the pineapple salsa: In a small bowl, combine diced pineapple, red onion, cilantro, and minced chile.
- 2. To make the quesadillas: Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Spread 1/2 of one of the tortillas with half of the cheese. Cook 1 minute or until cheese begins to melt, then top with 1 cup of the greens and half of the salsa. Fold the top half of the tortilla over the filled half and press gently with a spatula. Cook 1 to 2 minutes so both sides are speckled brown. Repeat with the other tortilla, then cut each quesadilla into the shape(s) of your choice.
