Sweet Pulled Pork Quesadillas Recipes

SWEET PULLED PORK QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• 1. To make sweet pulled pork, place most of the onion on the bottom of the crock pot, add pork roast, then montreal steak seasoning, lime juice, and rest of onion slices. Cook in crock pot until pork falls apart easily with fork. Add sugar, and "shred" (pull apart with fork.) You can adjust seasonings by adding, garlic, chili powder, cumin, oregano, and smoke flavor, but once when I was in a super rush, I did just the ingredients listed in the recipe, and it turned out plenty tasty. I free-handed the Montreal steak seasoning...you can always go light and add more once it is cooked, to taste. (Now that I've measured a few times 2 -2 1/2 Tbsp. seems right.)
• 2. To make quesadillas, in large skillet, cover a whole tortilla with shredded cheddar. Then layer over half the tortilla the sweet pork, black beans, & quinoa/rice. Heat over medium heat until bottom of tortilla is nicely brown and crispy and cheese is well melted.
• 3. Add dollops of the yogurt like you would sour cream, then sprinkle with shredded cabbage. Fold tortillas in half. Done!
• 4. The pork meat is great filling also for tamales or in enchiladas, or simply with chips and other Mexican style toppings. But my favorite is the quesadillas! If I have roasted pumpkin (or squash) and onions on hand, I add them to my quesadillas.
• 5. * when cooking the quinoa, dry toast it first in a skillet or pot, until it starts to pop and smell like popcorn, before cooking with water like normal. This makes ALL the difference in the flavor.

SWEET AND SAVORY SLOW COOKER PULLED PORK

Steps:

• Place the pork shoulder roast into a large plastic bag, pour 1 cup of root beer over the meat, and squeeze out all the air from the bag. Seal the bag closed, and refrigerate 6 hours to overnight.
• The next day, mix together the light brown sugar, kosher salt, black pepper, paprika, dry mustard, onion powder, garlic salt, celery salt, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg in a bowl.
• Remove the meat from the marinade, and shake off the excess. Rub the meat all over with the spice mixture, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 2 hours.
• Mix together the balsamic vinegar, 1 1/2 cups of root beer, whiskey, and brown sugar in a bowl, and stir until the sugar dissolves.
• Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, and sear the meat on all sides until the meat develops a brown crust, about 3 minutes per side. Place the seared meat into a slow cooker. Pour the balsamic vinegar-root beer mixture over the meat, set the slow cooker to High, and cook for 6 to 8 hours.
• Remove the roast from the slow cooker, and shred with 2 forks. Discard the bones and all but 1 cup of the liquid in the slow cooker. Return the shredded meat to the cooker, mix in the barbecue sauce, and let sit on Low until ready to serve. Serve piled on buns.
