had picked up a 2pound package of pulled pork from Costco. We had made barbecue rolls over the weekend, and looked for something else. I sauteed some chopped green pepper and onion wedges, and added them to the pork, which we mixed with SE Carolina (vinegar) sauce. DH and I each ate ALMOST an entire 8" quesadilla --and couldn't finish the last slice. Very tasty ! tanks for posting, seesko.

We enjoyed these tasty quesadillas. But DH and I didn't really care for the sour cream so we just dipped in more bbq sauce. I did use cheddar cheese because I was out of the mexi blend. I plan to use more cilantro next time. Overall we had a very good lunch today. Thanks for posting. :)

Quick, easy, and tasty quesadilla. I used leftovers from Recipe #178628, added the other ingredients and made as directed except that I left out the cilantro (personal perference). The kalua pork really gave this a nice smokey taste. Thanks seesko for sharing this great keeper. Made for Photo Tag.
