Ingredients:

1     pound         pollock fillets
1     tablespoon    cracked black pepper
2     ounces        canola oil
12    ounces        pepper Jack or Jack cheese
1/2                 red bell pepper
1/2                 green bell pepper
1     medium        red onion
6                   flour tortillas - (12" dia)
1 1/2 cups          salsa
3/4   cup           pineapple chunks
2 1/2 teaspoons     finely-chopped fresh cilantro
                    Salt
                    Freshly-ground black pepper

Directions: one line for each direction. When saved the lines will be numbered.

Mix salsa, pineapple chunks and 1/2 teaspoon cilantro together; taste, adding salt and pepper as needed. Hold aside, chilled.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Mix 1 ounce oil, the cracked pepper and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Add the pollock fillets; toss to coat.
Heat an oven-proof saute pan. Sear the pollock fillets in the hot saute pan for 30 seconds on each side. Place the entire pan in the oven and cook 10 minutes; remove pan from the oven. Flake fillets into a large bowl.
Return the saute pan to the stove. Add bell pepper and onion strips; cook over medium-high heat until lightly browned. Place pepper and onion strips in bowl with pollock flakes. Add remaining cilantro and mix well, adding salt and pepper to taste.
The tortillas will be folded over. With this in mind, sprinkle 2 ounces of cheese onto the lower half of each tortilla. Top with 2 to 3 ounces of pollock and pepper mixture. Fold over tortillas and fry in the remaining oil until the cheese melts and the tortilla is crisp on both sides, turning once.
To serve, cut each quesadilla into 3 wedges and place on a plate with 3/4 cup of chilled salsa mixture.
This recipe yields 6 servings.
