Easy Hawaiian Pizza Quesadillas

Church gets out at 11:15 or later during the school year, and with naps happening at 12:30, we don't have much time to mess around when it comes to lunch. Quesadillas have become a tradition because they're quick, easy, and everybody loves them. I like to mix it up every once in a while and try a different type of quesadilla. Hawaiian pizza is my favorite type of pizza, hands down, so I decided to make it in quesadilla form. 

First off, you'll have to decide how many quesadillas you want to make. 

Here's the ingredients I used for one. I used a bit more cheese than what is pictured.

Quesadillas are usually all about the cheese. I do a layer of cheese.

Then I put down the other ingredients.

Last I layer on more cheese so it all sticks together. You don't want to do TOO much cheese or it will run our all over the place. 

Because we want a quick lunch, I often do two pans at a time.

I finish off by cutting the quesadillas in to wedges. Often times we eat them straight up or with some salsa, but for my pizza quesadilla, I wanted a sauce that would give the pizza sauce flavor but not be runny. I used the Ragu Homestyle Sauce that I shared about in this post and it is just PERFECT. It has a salsa-like consistency to it sits on top of the quesadilla without running everywhere.
