Pineapple Pork Quesadillas

Quesadillas are one of the quintessential late night drunk/bar foods. They’re cheap, cheesy, and a satisfy that craving brought
on after copious amounts of alcohol.

Drunk Jake is so happy.

But quesadillas can also have class. And they don’t have to be just a cheesy tortilla late night mess.  Here’s a great anytime recipe that jazzes up the quesadilla, while still staying true to its classic qualities.

I opted for buying pre-made pulled pork, mainly because of time constraints, but making your own pulled pork would only add on to the deliciousness. So I’m all for it. Also, feel free to choose your favorite flavor of bbq sauce or salsa to dip the quesadillas in. I went the sweet/spicy mix of a honey chipotle and it played perfectly with the savory sweet combo of pineapple pork.

 

Time you’ll need:

  • 5 minutes prep
  • ~8 minutes cooking
  • Yields ~3 full quesadillas

What You’ll Need:

  • 6 flour tortillas
  • 12 oz pre-made pulled pork (or homemade)
