Instructions
Step one is to cook the chicken. There are three simple ways to cook chicken so it is tender enough that it can be shredded easily with 2 forks. You can use a stockpot, a slow cooker, or a pressure cooker. 1. On the stove-top. If using the stove, place chicken in a large stockpot and pour in approximately 1 inch of water; bring to a boil, reduce the heat and let simmer for 8 to 16 minutes, or until fully cooked and tender enough to shred with two forks. 2. In a slow cooker. If using a slow cooker, cook chicken 4 hours on HIGH or 8 hours on low in about 1-2 cups water. 3. In a pressure cooker/Instant Pot. If using an Instant Pot/pressure cooker, cook chicken with 1-2 cups water on HIGH pressure for 8 minutes, and then quick release the pressure after it is done cooking.
Heat oil in a large skillet set over medium heat. Add onion and jalapeño to skillet and cook 3-4 minutes. Add garlic and ginger and cook 30-60 more seconds.
Mix in shredded chicken, pinto beans, crushed pineapple, applesauce, ketchup, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and chili powder with the vegetables. Cook until warm, about 3-4 minutes.
Scoop 1/2 cup of the mixture onto one half of each tortilla. Top with 2 tablespoons cheese. Fold tortilla over the mixture, making a quesadilla. Carefully wipe the skillet with a wet paper towel (or just use a new skillet) and spray the skillet with cooking spray. Set skillet back over medium heat and place 1 quesadilla in the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on both sides, or until it is lightly browned and cheese is melted. Repeat with remaining quesadillas.
