Recipe of the month- March 2007

Pulled Pork Quesadilla

3 Tbs. olive oil

¾ cup slivered onion

Pinch each of kosher salt and black pepper

½ pound Dinosaur BBQ Pulled Pork (Heat & Serve – available online or at your local grocer’s)

¾ cup Dinosaur BBQ Sensuous Slathering Sauce

8 flour tortillas (6 inches in diameter)

1 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese

½ cup well-drained salsa

Pour 2 tablespoons of the oil into a skillet and set over medium heat.  Add the onions, seasoning them with a pinch of salt and pepper.  Cook til soft.  Dump in the meat and give everything a good tossing.  Add the BBQ sauce and mix well.  Set aside.

Film the bottom of a heavy skillet with a bit of the remaining olive oil, and set over medium heat.  Put in a tortilla and cook on one side briefly, til tinged with brown.  Take it out of the pan and continue with the rest of the tortillas, adding more oil if the pan looks dry.  When they’re all done, spread out 4 of the tortillas on a work surface, browned side up.  On each one, layer ½ cup pulled pork, ¼ cup cheese, and 2 tablespoons salsa.  Top each one with another tortilla, browned side down.

Film the skillet with oil again and slide in one of the quesadillas.  Flatten with a spatula cook til the bottom is crisp and tinged with brown.  Flip and cook the other side.  Remove to a cutting board and cut into wedges.  Keep warm while you’re cooking the rest.  Serve with a dollop of sour cream or guacamole.
