Best Leftover Pork Quesadillas Recipes

PULLED PORK QUESADILLA

Steps:

• If you'd like to keep your quesadillas warm between batches, preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
• To a large mixing bowl, add the pulled pork, black beans, red onion, green chiles, and cilantro.
• Stir to combine.
• Assemble the quesadillas and cook: Warm a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Lightly coat the skillet with nonstick spray or lightly brush with olive oil. Lay a tortilla in the skillet and sprinkle 2 tablespoons cheese over half. Top with ½ cup of the pork mixture.
• Sprinkle an additional 2 tablespoons cheese on top, the fold the tortilla over the cheese to create a half moon. To cook 2 quesadillas at the same time, slide the folded quesadilla to one side of the skillet with the straight edge running down the middle, then cook a second quesadilla beside it (the open sides of the quesadillas will point away from each other).
• Cook quesadillas on both sides until the tortillas are golden and the cheese is melted, about 5 to 6 minutes total. If desired, transfer cooked quesadillas to a clean baking sheet and place on the lower rack of the oven to keep warm. Repeat with remaining quesadillas.
• Transfer the quesadillas to a cutting board and let rest 1 to 2 minutes. Slice into wedges and serve hot with a drizzle of BBQ sauce (I like to warm the sauce first), Greek yogurt, and green onions or cilantro as desired.

LEFTOVER PORK QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• Spray a large skillet with olive oil (or nonstick cooking spray) and heat over medium heat.
• Add the sliced onion and green pepper; sprinkle with Mexican seasoning and cook, stirring frequently, until soft.
• Stir in the chopped cooked pork and turkey sausage and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, just until warmed through. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Divide the filling between the two flour tortillas and sprinkle the shredded Cheddar cheese on top of the filling. Fold the tortillas in half around the filling, and spray (or brush) the outside of the tortillas with olive oil.
• Reheat the same large skillet (no need to clean it out) over medium heat. Add the stuffed tortillas side-by-side and cook until until lightly browned on the bottom, then flip them over and cook until lightly browned on the other side.
• Cut each tortilla in half and serve with any or all of the recommended garnishes.
