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

  1. In a medium bowl, mix the cooked pulled pork with barbecue sauce and corn kernels. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  3. Place one tortilla in the skillet and sprinkle about ⅓ cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the tortilla.
  4. Spread half of the pulled pork mixture onto one half of the tortilla and top with sliced jalapeños and a sprinkle of red onion.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. Repeat the process with the second tortilla and the remaining ingredients.
  8. Once cooked, transfer the quesadillas to a cutting board and let them cool for a minute before slicing into wedges.
  9. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired and serve with additional barbecue sauce on the side for dipping.
