Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Yield: Makes 4 to 6 main-dish or 8 to 12 appetizer servings

Ingredients

  • 1/2  pound  shredded barbecued pork
  • 1/2  cup  barbecue sauce
  • 1/4  cup  chopped fresh cilantro
  • 5  green onions, minced
  • 8  (6-inch) flour tortillas
  • 1  cup  shredded Mexican four-cheese blend
  • 2  tablespoons  butter or margarine, softened
  • Toppings: sour cream, sliced green onions, barbecue sauce
  • Garnish: fresh cilantro sprig

Preparation

Stir together first 4 ingredients.

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.

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.

This is a great recipe. I used leftover pork from carnitas in the slow cooker the day before and white onion instead of green onion because I didn't have any. I used honey bbq sauce. I used corn tortillas and they came out crispy on the outside with the pork mixture moist on the inside. Quick and easy!03/02/08
