Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 medium sweet potato
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 pound ground pork
1 1/2 teaspoons ancho chile powder
Kosher salt
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 bunch scallions, chopped
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
4 burrito-size flour tortillas
2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend (or 1 cup each shredded cheddar and jack cheese)
Sliced pickled jalapenos and sour cream, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Pierce the sweet potato a few times with a fork and microwave until soft, 7 to 10 minutes. Let cool slightly, then remove the skin and mash the flesh with a fork; set aside.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork, chile powder and 1 teaspoon salt and cook, breaking up the meat, until browned, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic, sweet potato and scallions and cook, stirring, 2 more minutes. Add the cilantro and season with salt. Transfer the mixture to a bowl.
  • Wipe out the skillet; add 1/2 tablespoon butter and melt over medium-high heat. Add a tortilla, spread one-quarter of the pork mixture on one half and top with 1/2 cup cheese. Fold the tortilla over the filling and cook until the quesadilla is golden, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a baking sheet and place in the oven to keep warm. Repeat to make 3 more quesadillas. Cut into wedges and serve with pickled jalapenos and sour cream, if desired.

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 pound pork roast (you can use shoulder, butt, or loin)
8 ounces chunky salsa
1 (12 ounce) can Dr. Pepper soda
1 cup brown sugar
10 Flour tortillas
3 cups shredded Colby Jack Cheese (divided)
1/2 cup sour cream - optional topping
1/2 cup guacamole - optional topping
1/2 cup Pico De Gallo - optional topping
1 cup shredded lettuce - optional topping
1/2 cup salsa - optional topping

Steps:

  • Put the pork in the slow cooker, and fill with water until it reaches halfway up the roast.
  • Cook on high for 3 hours.
  • Drain the water and cut the pork in thirds.
  • Mix together salsa, Dr. Pepper, and brown sugar and pour over the pork.
  • Cook on low for 3 more hours.
  • Drain the liquid (reserving just a little bit to mix with the pork) and shred the pork. Mix the shredded pork with the reserved liquid.
  • Heat a nonstick griddle or pan to medium heat, place a tortilla on the heated griddle.
  • Sprinkle on about 1/2 cup cheese and a 1/2 cup pork and place a second tortilla on top.

  • Serve with optional toppings.

Tips:

  • To save time, you can use pre-cooked pulled pork or shredded chicken.
  • For a vegetarian version, substitute the pork with black beans or tofu.
  • If you don't have any salsa, you can use diced tomatoes or tomato sauce instead.
  • For a cheesy quesadilla, add a layer of shredded cheese to the top of the filling before folding.
  • Serve the quesadillas with your favorite toppings, such as guacamole, sour cream, or Pico de Gallo.
