How to Make Barbecued Pork Quesadillas
- In a medium bowl, gently combine the cooked pulled pork, barbecue sauce, red onion, and cilantro.
- Lay out four tortillas on a clean surface. Evenly distribute half of the pork mixture over one half of each tortilla.
- Sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded cheese over the pork mixture on each tortilla.
- Fold the tortillas in half, pressing gently to seal the edges. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and pork mixture.
- Spread 1 tablespoon of softened butter on one side of each quesadilla.
- Heat a large nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Place the quesadillas in the skillet, butter-side down.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the skillet and let cool slightly before cutting.
- Cut each quesadilla in half for main-dish servings or into quarters for appetizer servings.
- Serve immediately with your favorite toppings. Garnish with extra cilantro, if desired.
