The combination of pulled pork and cheesy goodness is truly addictive in this quesadilla recipe. The Bacon Guacamole is perfect to smear all over the quesadilla before eating. If you have any leftovers be sure to have some tortilla chips around to dip into that guac!
Yield: Serves 4 to 6
Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients:
- 2 cups (500 mL) prepared Ontario pulled pork (about 400 g)
- 2 cups (500 mL) shredded cheddar cheese, divided
- 2 tbsp (30 mL) chopped pickled jalapeños
- 4 large flour tortillas or 6 small
Bacon Guacamole:
- 1/2 cup (125 mL) chopped cooked crispy Ontario bacon
- 1 small clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 tsp (2 mL) chili lime seasoning (such as Tajin)
- 2 large avocados, pitted or 3 small
- 2 tbsp (30 mL) fresh lime juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
Cooking Instructions:
- Toss the crispy bacon with garlic and chili lime seasoning.
- In a bowl, mash avocados with a fork until fairly smooth. Stir in lime juice. Add bacon mixture and stir until evenly combined. Season to taste. Set aside.
- Reheat pulled pork according to package directions or in a microwaveble bowl for about 3 minutes, stirring halfway.
- In a bowl, stir together pulled pork, 1/2 cup (125 mL) of the cheese and pickled jalapeños. Divide mixture onto half of each tortilla, spreading to the edge. Spread 1 cup (250 mL) of remaining cheese over top of each tortilla and fold over pushing cheese to the end of tortilla so it’s almost spilling out.
- Meanwhile, heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle some of the remaining cheese into skillet and add quesadilla onto cheese. Press down so cheese starts going onto the skillet and sprinkle some more cheese on top of the quesadilla. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, turn over and cook until golden brown and cheese melts. Repeat with remaining quesadillas and cheese.
- Serve with Bacon Guacamole.
