Pulled Pork

Guacamole

Method

Pulled Pork Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C).

  2. 2

    In a bowl, mix together the guava paste, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.

  3. 3

    Rub the marinade all over the pork shoulder, ensuring it's evenly coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or preferably overnight in the refrigerator.

  4. 4

    Place the pork shoulder in the smoker and cook for 6-8 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 195°F (90°C).

  5. 5

    Once cooked, remove the pork from the smoker and let it rest for 30 minutes before shredding it with two forks.

Guacamole Preparation

  1. 6

    While the pork is cooking, prepare the guacamole. In a bowl, scoop out the flesh of the ripe avocados.

  2. 7

    Mash the avocados with a fork until smooth, then add lime juice, minced garlic, diced tomato, and chopped cilantro.

  3. 8

    Season with salt to taste and mix well.

Quesadilla Assembly

  1. 9

    Heat a large skillet over medium heat.

  2. 10

    Place one tortilla in the skillet and top with a layer of pulled pork, followed by a mixture of cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese.

  3. 11

    Top with another tortilla and cook until the bottom is golden brown and the cheese starts to melt, about 3-4 minutes.

  4. 12

    Carefully flip the quesadilla and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes until golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.

  5. 13

    Repeat the process for the remaining tortillas and filling.
