Equipment
- comal
- medium skillet
- cutting board
- kitchen knife
Ingredients
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 2 tsp Tex-Mex Spice Blend
- 1 cup smoked pulled pork - shredded
- ½ lime - juiced
- 4 flour tortillas
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese - grated
- ¼ cup sour cream
- ¼ cup Pico de Gallo
Instructions
- Heat up a dry comal or medium skillet over medium-low heat. Heat up olive oil in a separate medium skillet over medium heat.
- Add Tex-Mex Spice Blend directly to the hot oiled skillet.
- Add shredded Smoked Pulled Pork to the skillet.
- Toss with the spice blend, and cook until edges are crispy.
- Add lime juice to the cooked meat.
- Place a flour tortilla onto the hot comal. Add ¼ cup of shredded mozzarella and ¼ cup pulled pork, then carefully fold over and press down with a spatula.
- When the quesadilla starts to flatten out, this indicates that the cheese is melting. Carefully turn the quesadilla over and press the other side. There should be a light browning on the tortillas.
- Repeat for each half quesadilla, removing them to a tray when done.
- Cut each half quesadilla in half again, then serve with sour cream and fresh Pico de Gallo.
