When I make pulled pork for just the two of us, we end up with a lot of leftovers. I was kind of tired of just buying extra buns and continuing to eat sandwiches until the leftovers were gone so I came up with a new way to use up pulled pork—quesadillas! Southern BBQ meets Mexican. If that’s not fusion, I just don’t know what is.
Pulled Pork Quesadillas
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Keywords: bake entree leftovers Mexican Southern
Ingredients (serves 2)
- pulled pork
- 4 tortillas {I used flour, but use what you like!}
- frozen corn
- bbq sauce
- colby jack cheese, shredded
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
On a lined baking sheet, place 1 tortilla.
Top the tortilla with pulled pork, drizzle with bbq sauce, sprinkle with corn and cheese. No hard measurements, just go by your preference {and level of hunger}.
Add the second tortilla.
Bake for 10-15 minutes, until the ingredients are heated through and the cheese has melted.
Cut into 4 triangles and serve.
Jeromy was a little skeptical, but I absolutely love the flavor combination in this quesadilla!
Served alongside some edamame because it’s not a meal unless it includes something green. So I guess this whole dish is Southern-Mexican-Asian fusion?
Whatever you call it, it’s a quick and easy way to give a new life to leftovers.
How do you reinvent your leftovers?
