Pulled Pork Quesadillas

Back in March, I ran across this recipe.

A Pulled Pork Quesadilla?

And with pickles inside?!?

I'd never heard of such a thing, 

or even thought about it,

but man it sounded good!!!

I was quite intrigued,

so I made a mental note to give it a try,

and not too long after I did just so!

Wow you guys - it was really good!

So good that I thought about it many times the next day,

and even made it for dinner for a second night in a row!!!

Not only are they really tasty,

but they're super easy to make too.

Let me show you how!!!

First things first - make your pulled pork.

I've used many different recipes over the years,

but this time I followed this recipe and loved it!

Cook your pork in the crock pot,

and then shred it using two forks.

Add your favorite BBQ sauce...

And mix it up with the pulled pork.

Now that the pork is done, it's time for quesadillas!!!!

The Goods:

BBQ Pulled Pork

Flour Tortillas

Cheddar Cheese

Pickles

Red Onion

BBQ Sauce

Get all your goods prepped:

Shred your cheese.

Dice your onion.

Chop your pickles.

Now the fun part - assembling the quesadilla!

I started with one tortilla

and a nice layer of cheese.

Then I added pulled pork,

threw on diced red onion, 

then lots of chopped pickles

and finally another layer of cheese!!!

Heat your grill pan over medium-high heat

and then spray it with oil cooking spray.

Carefully place your assembled quesadilla on the grill pan,

then top it with a second tortilla to complete your quesadilla.

Keep an eye on the quesadilla while it's cooking

and once it has nice grill marks, flip that baby over!

Continue cooking until the cheese is melted

and both sides have a nice color from the grill pan.

Let rest a minute and then slice for serving.

Now dig in and enjoy your yummy quesadilla!!!

I personally have only tried the pulled pork version,

but this could also be modified to use whatever meat you like.

My mouth is watering just thinking of the possibilities!

Sunday Night Dinner: Take 28

Tonight's Sunday Night Dinner was pretty simple, but finding all the pieces to make it a success was far from simple!  One would think that it'd be easy to find pretzel rolls, correct? Especially now that they're pretty trendy. Well...not really! After going to 4 different stores, I was finally able to purchase pretzel slider rolls from a store I'd seen them at MONTHS ago. Why I didn't start there in the first place...that's another story! 

Now that I had pretzel rolls, I could make what I'd picture as an amazing dinner! I made turkey burger pretzel roll sliders with cheddar cheese, mustard, lettuce and pickle slices. They were simply amazing and even better than I thought possible! With them, I enjoyed some grilled zucchini and roasted brussels sprouts. Both were very tasty and oddly enough, a great compliment to the sliders.
