1
Prepare the Pork
In a bowl, marinate the pork shoulder with adobo sauce and salt. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes, or overnight in the refrigerator for best flavor.
2
Cook the Pork
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the marinated pork. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pork is tender and cooked through. Shred the pork with two forks.
3
Assemble the Quesadilla
Place a tortilla in a clean skillet over medium heat. On one half of the tortilla, add a layer of shredded pork and top it with monterey jack cheese. Fold the tortilla in half.
4
Cook the Quesadilla
Cook the quesadilla for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
5
Serve
Slice the quesadilla into wedges and serve hot with a side of rice, beans, and pico de gallo.
