Quesadillas: Smoked Pulled Pork

This is a recipe I came up with myself to use left smoked pulled pork.

Ingredients

  • 2 c. leftover smoked pulled pork (see Note)
  • 1 small yellow onion
  • 1 small red onion
  • 1-1/2 c. sliced bell peppers (your choice of colors)
  • 1-1/2 c. pepper jack cheese, grated
  • Pace Picante sauce or salsa
  • 6 flour tortillas (8 inch)
  • oil for cooking
  • sour cream, for serving

Instructions

Sauté onions and peppers in a little oil until soft and browned (about 20-25 minutes). Transfer to a bowl and set aside.

When ready to cook, add a drizzle of oil in a large shallow Teflon fry pan and heat to low-medium heat.

Lay a flour tortilla in the pan, and on half the tortilla, quickly add a little pork, a little onion and peppers, some cheese and 1-2 Tbls. of picante sauce or salsa. Fold the tortilla over on top of the filling and cook 1-2 minutes until browned on the bottom. Flip over and brown the other side. Remove and slice into 3 triangles. Continue until all tortillas are used up.

Serve with a dollop of sour cream, if desired.

Store leftovers in refrigerator and heat in microwave.
