Ahhhhh! The satisfying sensation of crunch… tender chew… and the ensuing wood-smoked, plant-based flavor explosion.

Carnitas Quesadilla

Ingredients

  • 2 burrito-size flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded vegan cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup Barvecue Carnitas
  • 4 tbsp fresh pico de gallo, extra liquid drained

Directions

  1. Cook Carnitas in a pan according to package directions.

  2. Place a large cast iron skillet on medium heat to warm.
  3. Prep quesadillas by sprinkling cheese evenly over the two tortillas. Next, add Carnitas and pico de gallo atop the cheese on one-half of each tortilla.
  4. One at a time, add the prepped tortillas to the cast iron skillet and cook 3-5 minutes. Keep an eye on it to ensure the bottom of the tortilla doesn’t burn.
  5. Once cheese becomes melty, use a spatula to fold the cheese half over the Carnitas half. Transfer to a cutting board to be cut.
  6. Repeat the process with the second quesadilla. Cut and serve.
