yay for football thursdays! i told my honey when he came home from work, "you have 3 options to pick from w/ this leftover pulled pork. the choices were this - a bbq pork quesadilla, pork nachos or pork tacos. to no surprise of mine, he said what he always says and that's, "they all sound great." alright i thought to myself, and being used to hearing this sort of response, i made a decision and rolled w/ what i was thinking in my head - a bbq pork quesadilla.
recipe: serves 2
ingredients
leftover slow-roasted boneless pork loin (i made this 2 nights prior but marinated it for 2 days prior to that...pretty tasty stuff!)
2 whole-grain/low-carb tortillas, average size
good-quality cheese, shredded (we used yancey's fancy steakhouse onion aged cheddar)
yellow or orange bell pepper, diced
red onion, minced
garlic, minced
jalapeño, sliced
fresh cilantro, chopped
avocado, sliced
non-fat, plain greek yogurt
bbq sauce
evoo
s & p
warm pork low and slow in a skillet, along w/ peppers, onions, garlic and a bit of bbq sauce. put 1 tortilla down on an oiled panini skilled (low-med heat) and fill w/ warmed pork mixture, cheese, jalapeños, cilantro and s & p. place the other tortilla on top, and put the panini press on top of the entire quesadilla for even melting. flip after 4-5 minutes, and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes. plate the quesadilla, and top w/ avocado, cilantro, bbq drizzle, a dollop of non-fat, plain greek yogurt and s & p.
go colts! :)
