Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked, shredded pulled pork (leftover pork shoulder or store-bought)
- ½ cup BBQ sauce (your favorite brand or homemade)
- 6 large (10-inch) flour tortillas
- 1½ cups shredded cheese (a mix of sharp cheddar and Monterey Jack)
- ¼ cup olive oil or vegetable oil for frying
- Optional: chopped green onions
- Optional: pickled jalapeños
- Optional: sour cream or guacamole for dipping
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine 2 cups of shredded pulled pork with ½ cup of BBQ sauce. Stir well to coat evenly.
- Place one large flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Sprinkle about ¼ cup of shredded cheese evenly over the tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Spoon roughly ⅓ cup of the BBQ pork mixture in a line near one edge of the tortilla over the cheese. Add chopped green onions or pickled jalapeños if desired.
- Tightly roll the tortilla over the filling, tucking in the sides to keep everything snug. Secure with toothpicks if needed.
- Pour ¼ cup of oil into a large skillet and heat over medium heat until shimmering but not smoking (about 3-4 minutes).
- Place the quesadilla rolls seam-side down in the hot oil. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, turning carefully until all sides are golden brown and crispy.
- Remove rolls to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Let rest for a minute before serving.
Notes
Warm tortillas for 15 seconds in the microwave wrapped in a damp paper towel if they crack while rolling. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Let rolls rest after frying to avoid burning your tongue. For a healthier option, bake rolls at 400°F for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
