• sliced green onion
• barbecue sauce

• Garnish

directions

1. Stir together first 4 ingredients.
2. Spoon pork mixture evenly on 1 side of each tortilla; sprinkle with cheese. Fold tortillas in half, pressing gently to seal. Spread butter on both sides of quesadillas.
3. Heat a large nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat, and cook quesadillas 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until browned. Cut each quesadilla in half for main-dish servings or in quarters for appetizer servings. Serve with desired toppings. Garnish, if desired.
4. Note: You can buy pork already barbecued if you want to make this easier.

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.
