Okay, this is how I roll. We have a ton of pork leftover from Sunday dinner (basic Boston butt slow cooked with apple juice, salt, and liquid smoke) that I don't want to waste. I have this recipe idea in my head, thinking it's similar to the Cuban pork quesadillas I posted awhile back. I was close, but not quite. Typical when I try to remember a recipe. :D BUT, they turned out so good I figured they deserved a blog post and a name all their own.
Pulled-Pork Quesadilla
1 large (12") tortilla per person
Pulled pork, warmed - the kind that's vinegar-based, not tomato-based
Spicy brown mustard
Shredded monterey jack cheese
Sweet (bread and butter) pickle slices or relish
Spread the tortilla with spicy brown mustard, taste. Layer pork, cheese, and pickles on half. Fold over and grill until cheese is melted. Slice into four pieces.
With a side dish, two pieces (1/2 of the above) would be plenty for me. Actually, I'm not going to be able to eat the last piece without a side dish. :p My two athletes, though, finished their entire four pieces in anticipation of tonight's soccer game and late dinner (that just might end up being a stop for ice cream.)
Spicy brown mustard, where have you been all my life? This is the BEST ingredient I added to my repertoire in 2011. I haven't purposely avoided using it, but somehow I've managed to get by without it for twenty years.
Enjoy!
