Pulled Pork Quesadilla Savory and Easy to Make
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked pulled pork
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup sliced jalapeños
- 0.5 cup barbecue sauce
- 0.5 cup corn kernels
- 0.25 cup diced red onion
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0 to taste salt
- 0 to taste pepper
- 0 optional fresh cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mix the cooked pulled pork with barbecue sauce and corn kernels. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Place one tortilla in the skillet and sprinkle about ⅓ cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the tortilla.
- Spread half of the pulled pork mixture onto one half of the tortilla and top with sliced jalapeños and a sprinkle of red onion.
- Carefully fold the tortilla in half, covering the filling, and cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side until golden and the cheese begins to melt.
- Flip the quesadilla and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side, adding more oil if needed, until both sides are crispy and golden.
- Repeat the process with the second tortilla and the remaining ingredients.
- Once cooked, transfer the quesadillas to a cutting board and let them cool for a minute before slicing into wedges.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired and serve with additional barbecue sauce on the side for dipping.
