Assemble the Quesadilla
On one half of each tortilla, layer a portion of the warmed pork, followed by a generous amount of shredded cheese. Fold the tortilla over to create a half-moon shape.

Cook the Quesadilla
In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil. Once hot, place the folded quesadilla in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese has melted. Repeat with remaining quesadillas, adding more oil as necessary.
