Easy BBQ Quesadilla Recipe

BBQ pulled pork quesadillas are one of my new favorite Mexican dishes! They have a sweet and savory kick to the classic tastes you’re use to and they taste AMAZING!

My kids are always asking for quesadillas and would eat them for every meal if I made them. I love that they can be made quickly so they’re perfect for dinner when things get busy. They’re also super versatile and make a great appetizer or party food!

Ingredients You’ll Need

• Pulled Pork – You can buy some from the store that can be heated in the microwave but I prefer to make my pulled pork in the Instant Pot or cook the pork in the slow cooker.
• Cheese – Do yourself a favor and grate a block of your favorite cheese. Both the flavor and texture is just better.
• Tortillas – If you have the time, this Homemade Tortilla recipe is amazing! If not, I recommend buying a package of raw tortillas and cooking those. Prepackaged tortillas are just too thick, so all you’ll taste is tortilla.
• BBQ Sauce – If I don’t have any Homemade BBQ Sauce on hand, my go-to is Sweet Baby Ray’s…yum!

How to Make Pulled Pork Quesadillas

Pork – You’ll want to start by cooking, or heating, your pulled pork depending on the method you’re using.

Butter – Be sure to butter one side of each tortilla. This makes the tortillas nice and crispy as they cook!

BBQ Sauce – If you cooked your own pulled pork, mix in your desired amount of BBQ sauce until it’s evenly coated.

Compile – With the butter side down, add some warmed meat to a tortilla, then sprinkle with cheese. Top with another buttered tortilla, butter side facing up.

Cook – Put your quesadillas on a griddle or frying pan on medium heat for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown. You don’t want to go above medium heat or the tortillas will burn before the inside is ready.

Flip – Carefully flip to the other side and cook for another couple of minutes until the cheese is melted.

Serve – Sprinkle your pulled pork quesadillas with fresh cilantro, chopped tomatoes or any other favorite toppings and you’re good to go! I also love to top them with sour cream, Fresh Salsa or Guacamole.

Recipe Tips & Storage

Spicy – If you like a little kick to your pork quesadillas, go ahead and add sliced jalapeños inside.

Best Tortillas – Only use flour tortillas. I think they taste better but they’re so much easier to flip than corn tortillas.

Storing – Pulled pork quesadillas can be stored in the fridge for a few days if kept in a zipper bag. I usually make a larger batch and save the extra for the kids to eat for lunch the next day.

Reheating – The easiest way is to warm them is in the microwave. I don’t like the flimsy texture from the microwave so I warm them in the toaster oven to get them crispy again.
