Mexican Paninis

Quesadillas are obviously the Mexican grilled cheese.  So then, if we slap some cheese and deli meat on a flour tortilla and melt it down, logically, we have a Mexican panini.  I don't have too much to say about this meal except that it's quick, delicious and cheap.  Also, I'm way too distracted with the wine and cheese party set up that is currently going on around me, as well as the intense hor dourves preparation that is simultaneously and loudly going on.

what do we need...
recipe prepared enough for two people
2 flour tortillas 
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella
2 rings pineapple, chopped thinly
1/4 lb deli ham (brown sugar maple is clearly superior)


what we need to do...
1  Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
2  Lightly butter one side of the tortilla and place, butter side down, on a cookie sheet.  On half of the other side, add ham, pineapple and cheese.  Fold in half, press down firmly, and cook in oven.  
3  Cook for about 3 to 5 minutes, remove from oven and flip.  Return to oven and cook for another 5 minutes or until each side is slightly crispy and golden brown.  Slice with a pizza cutter and enjoy!
