Ingredients

2 cups Pulled pork shredded
½ cups Salsa verde
4 Flour tortillas
8 oz Queso Oaxaca Sliced thinly
¼ cup White onion chopped
2 tbsp Cilantro chopped or pinched

Instructions

Mix cooked pulled pork with salsa verde in small skillet or microwave-safe bowl.
Heat pork on medium-low in skillet or for about 40 seconds in microwave - just until warm.
Melt teaspoon of butter in small skillet over medium low heat until melted and skillet is coated.
Place one tortilla in skillet and evenly top with cheese.
On one half of the tortilla, evenly spread ½ cup pulled pork.
Top with 1/4 of the chopped cilantro (about ½ tablespoon) and ¼ of the chopped onion (about 1 tablespoon).
Gently lift the part of the tortilla that has only cheese to check for doneness. When the tortilla appears golden and crispy, fold this top half over the half with the pork. Press down with the spatula to help the two sides stick together. Cheese should be gooey.
Remove from heat and repeat the steps (starting with the third step) with the remaining tortillas. (I like to wipe down or rinse ofter every couple of tortillas.)
Slice each pork quesadilla into three wedges and serve with pico, salsa, or guacamole.
