A neat twist on the standard quesadilla.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Sweet and savory with a little bite, these quesadillas are different from anything we've ever tasted. The sweet pineapple cream cheese with the savory brie melts beautifully with the chicken. Onion and jalapeno definitely give these a little kick. These quesadillas may not be for everyone, but if you're adventurous give them a try. They're yummy! Test Kitchen Avatar The Test Kitchen
