Pork Carnitas Quesadilla
Check out this mouthwatering dish:
Ingredients
- 180g Pork Carnitas (you can use cooked pork shoulder too)
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cheese (Mexican blend works great)
- 1/2 cup diced onions
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 jalapeño, sliced (optional for some heat)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Sour cream and salsa for serving
Instructions
- First up, let’s get that flavor going! Begin by heating a skillet over medium heat and adding the olive oil.
- Once the oil’s hot, add the diced onions and cook until they become translucent – about 3-5 minutes.
- Now, add the pork carnitas to the skillet, breaking it apart into smaller pieces. Stir it up and let it warm through for about 5 minutes.
- While the pork is heating, take another skillet and put it on medium heat for the tortillas. You want it to be hot but not smoking.
- In that skillet, place one tortilla down and sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheese on half of it.
- Next, spoon some of that flavorful carnitas mixture on top of the cheese. If you’re feeling spicy, now’s the time to toss on those jalapeño slices!
- Top it off with some fresh cilantro, then fold the tortilla in half to create your quesadilla.
- Cook it in the skillet for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until it’s golden and crispy, and the cheese is melted.
- Repeat the process for the remaining tortillas and filling.
- Slice those bad boys up, and serve them hot with sour cream and salsa on the side.
