Pulled Pork Quesadilla

The new definition of a quesadilla should be cheesy creation that is quick, gives leftovers a new fresh life and makes the whole family smile. This quesadilla recipe meets all those criteria and uses leftovers from my favorite slow cooker recipe!

Simple Slow Cooker Pulled Pork

This recipes is inspired by my favorite pork sandwich from Fedoroff’s Roast Pork at Smorgasburg in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Now I made it into a quesadilla and you can have it in your kitchen. David’s creation has sweet juicy slow roasted pork on a sesame bread (I substituted the bread for tortilla), a spicy long pepper that runs along the pork like a crown (I used jarred  pickled jalapeños), creamy provolone cheese (That I use too) and tasty bitter broccoli rabe (I use arugula so less cooking) to balance out the spicy. Get your quick recipe hat on and start eating.

This is family friendly and a busy home cook’s best friend. I can’t wait to hear how much you like it!
