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!!
