Categories     Main Course

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1.5 cups leftover slow cooker pulled pork (or your favorite BBQ pulled pork)
1 15-ounce can reduced sodium black beans, rinsed and drained
1/4 medium red onion (finely chopped)
1 4-ounce can diced green chiles in their juices
1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro*
2 cups shredded cheddar (pepper jack, or Monterey jack cheese (I used cheddar))
8 8-inch flour tortillas
Nonstick spray (canola oil, or butter, for grilling the quesadillas)
Homemade BBQ sauce (or your favorite BBQ sauce)
Nonfat plain Greek yogurt ( or sour cream)
Chopped green onions (or cilantro)

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.

Black Bean and Corn Quesadillas image

My vegetarian husband goes crazy over these every time! They are really cheesy, a little bit spicy, and a little bit sweet. Feel free to play around and add chicken or veggies, if you desire. Don't forget the salsa and sour cream!
