The Lady and The Beard

Tuesday, October 8, 2013

On Sunday, we smoked some ribs for a surprise wedding party and decided to throw a pork butt on also.  I love pulled pork and I think mine is famous if only in my own head.  I rarely eat it out anymore just because I think mine is that good!!!!  It's a simple recipe just the pork butt bone in, garlic cloves and a Carolina sauce throw it on the smoker after 2 hours I slather it again with the sauce double wrap with heavy duty tinfoil and let it go low and slow.  I make small holes in the pork and insert the garlic cloves.  The bearded fella keeps the fire going :)  With all this being said my favorite thing to do with the pork is make pulled pork quesadilla's so, went to my boards to find a recipe.  I usually just add some more sauce and cheddar cheese but, decided to do something different.  This recipe comes from www.crystalandcomp.com .

                                               Black bean & Corn Quesadillas

2 c. cooked leftover meat (chicken, beef, pulled pork, etc.)
1 can black beans, drained
1 can corn, drained (or equivalent amount of frozen)
1 can rotel tomatoes, drained
1 small can sliced black olives
8-10 flour tortillas
2 c. cheese
garnish with optional items like:  salsa, sour cream, guacamole, etc.

In a large bowl add your shredded or diced cooked meat.  Toss in the black beans, corn, rotel tomatoes and sliced olives.  Stir until combined.
Place one flour tortilla on a griddle or in a nonstick pan over medium heat.  On half of the tortilla add a bit of shredded cheese.  When the cheese starts to melt, this helps the tortilla stay sealed.  Add a couple of spoonful's of the meat and bean mixture on top of the cheese.  Add a bit more cheese on top.  Fold over and press down with a spatula.  Cook on each side until the tortilla is lightly brown on both sides.
My Note:  I added some cilantro paste to the meat mixture because I didn't have any fresh and I love cilantro!!!  These were a big hit I will be keeping this in may recipe box.  Enjoy!!
