🔥 How to Make Smokey Pulled Pork Quesadillas
1. Prepare the Pulled Pork
In a skillet over medium heat, warm the pulled pork using any juices left in the packaging. Stir occasionally until the pork is heated through. Shred if necessary and set aside.
2. Assemble the Quesadillas
- Preheat a flat top griddle or non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
- Lay one flour tortilla flat and sprinkle an even layer of shredded cheese over half of it.
- Add a generous layer of the warm pulled pork.
- Spoon some fresh pico de gallo over the meat.
- Fold the tortilla in half to cover the filling.
3. Cook to Perfection
- Place the folded quesadilla on the griddle and cook for 2 minutes per side, or until lightly golden.
- For a smoky grilled touch, transfer the quesadilla to a grill and cook for 1 minute per side to get those beautiful grill marks.
- Ensure the cheese is fully melted before removing from heat.
4. Serve and Enjoy
Cut each quesadilla into wedges and serve with sour cream, guacamole, or your favorite salsa on the side.
🌮 Pro Tips
- For extra heat, add sliced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce.
