Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the pork carnitas and cook until heated through. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Quesadilla

    On one half of each flour tortilla, layer the cooked rice, black beans, pork carnitas, shredded cheese, sliced jalapeño, and pico de gallo.

  3. 3

    Cook the Quesadilla

    Fold the tortillas over to cover the filling. In the same skillet, add a little more olive oil if necessary and place the quesadillas in the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese has melted.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove from skillet, cut into wedges, and serve hot with extra pico de gallo on the side.
