Ingredients
- 1 1/2 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.
