Pulled pork is turned into an amazing lunch or finger food with this quesadilla. It is an ideal way to use up leftover pulled pork. Top the quesadilla with a fresh pico de gallo and sour cream for some contrasting flavors and textures.
At first, the recipe may seem too simple but that is part of the charm. Let the meat be the main star, yet not so much it is overwhelming the whole dish. We used a basic Mexican cheese mix, but you can try other cheeses like queso fresco, cotija, or even cheddar cheese.
This also works well as a simple dish for kids. Or it’s a great way to serve food if you’re trying to minimize carbs, compared to a bread roll. The flour tortilla can be swapped out for corn for those avoiding gluten.
