4) Drizzle aged balsamic vinegar over the sweated onions and ginger, and let cool. ( This is to soak up the delicious balsamic vinegar!)

5) Added cooled onions and ginger to large mixing bowl with grated cheese, ( and chicken cooked with 1/2 tbs steak seasoning, if desired.)

The reason I will NEVER recommend microwaving
anything is pictured to the right--->

THIS is a properly brown quesadilla! 

If pineapple salsa is not available in your area, pick a mild salsa and and extra chopped canned pineapple chunks to it-- it's pretty much the same thing :)
