Ingredients

2 cups cooked pulled pork (use pre-cooked or leftovers)

4 large flour tortillas

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

1/2 cup diced red onion

1/2 cup corn (fresh, canned, or frozen)

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon cumin

Salt and pepper to taste

Olive oil, for cooking

Salsa and sour cream for serving

Instructions

Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the pulled pork, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, diced red onion, corn, and cilantro. Mix well and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Heat the Tortillas:

- Preheat a large skillet over medium heat.

- Lightly brush one side of a tortilla with olive oil and place it in the skillet, oiled side down.

Assemble the Quesadilla:

- On one half of the tortilla, sprinkle 1/4 cup of cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese.

- Add a generous portion of the pulled pork mixture on top of the cheese, then sprinkle with an additional 1/4 cup of mixed cheese.

- Fold the other half of the tortilla over to create a half-moon shape.

Cook the Quesadilla:

- Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side until the cheese has melted and the tortilla is golden brown.

- Carefully flip the quesadilla and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the other side is equally golden and crispy.

Repeat: Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling to make additional quesadillas.

Serve: Once all quesadillas are cooked, let them rest for a minute before slicing into wedges. Serve with salsa and sour cream on the side.
