Smokey Grilled Chicken Quesidillas
Sweet Grilled Pineapple Gives This Mexican Dish an Island Flare
I love cooking on my grill outside. Living in Orlando I can cook outdoors all year around. Food taste delicious when it has that smokey flavor and the grill marks always make the food look more appetizing. This recipe is a little sweet with a slight flavor of island spices and has become one of our families favorite quesidilla recipes.
This flavorful Quesidilla combines grilled chicken brushed with Slow Cooker BBQ Sauce , grilled pineapple, smokey bacon and gooey melted MontereyJack cheese. A sweet savory slightly spicy flavor everyone will enjoy.
